CEOs Deploy CIOs For Digital Leadership
InformationWeek, Tuesday, January 30th, 2024
Successful CIOs must become agents for change, bolster their collaboration prowess and adopt a business first mindset, as CEOs lean on them to lead digital transformation.
As CEOs increasingly look to chief information officers (CIOs) for leadership in areas like AI, cloud computing, and cybersecurity, the CIO role will require a focus on marrying tech investment with improved business outcomes.
Progressive CIOs are positioning their CxOs as co-leaders in digital delivery and turning technology decisions into shared leadership initiatives -- a recent Gartner survey of more than 2,400 CIOs found 45% of CIOs are driving the shift to co-ownership of digital leadership.
