THE FIRST 90 DAYS AS CHIEF DATA OFFICER

A Practical Framework for New CDOs

[Free Download]

By Josh Martin, Former Indiana Chief Data Officer (2020–2025)

The First 90 Days Can Make or Break Your Tenure

You're walking into an organization with:

High expectations from leadership
Complex political dynamics
Legacy technical debt
Competing priorities
Cultural resistance

You need a roadmap. Not consultant theory. A battle-tested playbook.

I Learned This The Hard Way

I became Indiana's Chief Data Officer in March 2020—right as COVID-19 hit. Within weeks, I was leading the state's pandemic data response while building a 50-person agency from scratch.

I made mistakes. I learned hard lessons. And I documented everything.

Focus Area	Key Deliverables
Week-by-Week Plan	Exactly what to do Days 1, 7, 14, 30, 60, and 90.
Stakeholder Mapping	Identify allies, blockers, and decision-makers.
Technical Assessment	What to audit and how to prioritize.
