Solving IT's Identity Crisis
CIO, Tuesday, October 1st, 2024
Identity - who you and IT are perceived to be - has become a 'must manage' part of every CIO's responsibility set. The right trifecta of thinking, talking, and doing is what you need.
Identity is a surprisingly complex issue in today's world. Battles over political identities, confusion and activism regarding gender identities, and a surfeit of identity crises dominate headlines and social discourse. As such, fellow futurist Francis Fukuyama, author of Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment, insists that 'Identity is a hallmark of our age.'
Make no mistake, IT has an identity as well, and its identity is more elusive and value impacting than even many CIOs typically believe.
