At a time when businesses continue to expand their use of data, fifty-three percent of so-called customer experience executives do not use big data to improve strategy, according to a new survey by Consero Group.

Fifty-seven percent of surveyed chief procurement officers (CPOs) said short-term cost reduction is a higher priority than long-term growth in 2014, according to a new survey by Consero Group, which specializes in creating high-level, invitation-only events for senior executives. The results were reported as part of the 2014 Procurement & Strategic Sourcing Data Survey, compiled by Consero Group.
