Company managers competences adjustment within the frames of business digital transformation
Within the frames of digital business transformation the data are one of the basic
company assets. Many companies adopt cumbersome expensive software to provide
analytical reports, revealing the causes of success and failure. The observed gap between
business expectations and the obtained results is associated not with software quality, but
with data management. Based on the analysis of world practices in data management and
Russian professional standards the principle of forming required competences in data
management for companies’s top-management is proposed. The article suggests the
competency model for company’s management in the sphere of data management.
Purpose – The purpose of this work is to create a competency model of different levels
of executives in the sphere of data management within the frames of global digital
transformation. This model will give a chance to formulate additional list of managers’
competencies involved in the process of data management.
Design/methodology/approach – The comparative analysis of global practices in data
management and Russian professional standards; case research of Russian company
managers’ attitude to competencies in data management.

Originality/value – Digital medium formation is an integral element of enterprise
integration into the broad scale global digital transformation processes. These changes include, in particular, cross-industry digital transformation, development of new
industries as well as “joint” economy formation. This, in turn, requires all company
management levels to acquire new professional competences corresponding to the
requirements of digital economy. Since the data are the main part of digital economy, the
data management organization that goes out of limits of mere creation and introduction of
the corporate information system is required. In the article new principles of formating
company management competences concerning data management are suggested.
Practical implications – The presented competency model will let correctly formulate
and structure the requirements for employees in the field of data management. The model
can be adapted for companies of different sizes, different organizational structures and
scope of activities.
