Your CEO Has Little Idea Who It Is Or What It Does
CIO, Tuesday, January 7th, 2025
Business execs are almost entirely lost when it comes to understanding the people and processes of your technology organization - and that's a problem, yours specifically.
IT may be central to modern existence, but the people and processes of IT remain a mystery to most business executives and colleagues. It's time to change this.
I asked a group of business executives to take out a blank sheet of paper, draw a big circle, and label it 'IT People and Processes.' I then asked them to draw a circle inside that circle representing the degree to which they understood IT people and processes. For the vast majority, that circle was a tiny period.
