Information Age, January 16th, 2023
What can the new-look CIO do to construct a successful IT function that goes hand-in-hand with the rest of the business?
Businesses everywhere are currently undergoing some kind of digital transformation as they focus on improving the delivery and scope of their latest products and services. In doing so, technology spending power has begun to move away from the CIO's reporting line, and towards the rest of the business. As a result, the role of the CIO is changing - fast.
Where once they were primarily concerned with building and delivering technology, CIOs today are likely to focus more on influencing the purchase of a range of technologies, and on nurturing talent and innovation across the business.
