Building The Tech Org Of The Future: Get Back To Basics
InformationWeek, Tuesday, January 6th, 2026
To build the tech organization of tomorrow, IT leaders must refocus on basics: defining capabilities, designing structure and strengthening operating models.
Enterprise IT leaders are under relentless pressure. Budgets are shrinking, headcount is leaner and the demand for sustained agility is not letting up. At the same time, new technologies, from AI platforms to high-performance compute, keep raising expectations from every corner of the business.
In this climate, it can feel tempting to treat your organization's design and operating model as a task to hand off to HR. Or worse, you might assume that a polished org chart and a clear corporate strategy signal sufficient maturity.
