Many times it starts with a conversation. The topics range from data security, to the pace of adaptable innovation, to the expanding role many CIOs need to play within their organizations.
The discussion centers on the following questions:
• How can we accelerate our digital innovation?
• How can we take advantage of opportunities that are begging for a solution?
• How do we use the resources we currently have in the most effective way?
• How can we upskill our team quickly and effectively?
IT leaders have been asked to take on a more expansive span of responsibility. Leadership positions continue to transition from a technology focus to a broader business strategist role. Most CIO responsibilities require deep industry knowledge, an understanding of how to run a profitable business, plus excellent communication and management skills.
But the issue with the highest trajectory is the urgent need to drive technology-enabled innovation across the entire business in a fast, yet secure manner. Digital innovation across enterprises commands a broad understanding of business issues combined with a solid grasp of how to implement the latest technology effectively. That is why some refer to the CIO as the “Chief Influence Officer” because most decisions are driven by technology.
The dynamic tension is the following:
How do we move fast yet have data integrity and data security?
How does a CIO continue to balance technological advancement and yet have time to manage enterprise-wide digital innovation?
