What our members say

CDQ “bring the external in” for us. We see how other companies manage challenges similar to ours, we share, observe and learn from good practice, and we get the opportunity to ask questions and to seek advice on some of our opportunities. Sessions are very inclusive and engaging, in an open safe environment.

The CC CDQ is a platform for Bosch where we gain valuable input and insight into a large variety of topics related to data management and data quality. As a community of data experts from large international enterprises, the CC CDQ is a great partner for bench-marking, developing good practice, and identifying trends and future topics in data management. All this supports Bosch on its journey to turning our data into key-assets and becoming a leading, AI-driven IoT enterprise!
