Achieving CIO Balance: IT Meets The Business World
InformationWeek, January 31st, 2023
CIOs are being pushed to deliver value to the business and stay on top of technical issues. How can they do both?
McKinsey surveyed CIOs in late 2021 and detected a great deal of anxiety when it came to how CIO roles were changing in companies. The McKinsey report quoted one CIO as saying: 'I'm more concerned about not being bold enough than about being too cautious.' The report went on to conclude: 'For CIOs, the challenge is how to match that boldness so they can not only enable the business's aspirations for growth but also shape them. That challenge is all the more seminal because even a quick glance under the hood of the top goals of many businesses reveals that their goals are unreachable without technology. Like it or not, CIOs are in the spotlight.'
