Key priorities for 2021
A mindset shift is required from a CIO in a digital society. The role and responsibility of the CIO has changed from typically driving projects and deliveries to business executive. The transformational CIO collaborates on digital strategies, leads organization change, drives agile practices and experiments with platform and emerging technologies.
In short, CIOs are transitioning from traditional IT service delivery to a more strategic role. The divide between organizations that are executing a digital strategy and those that have not started is becoming more pronounced. Today, CIOs are spending more time on aligning IT projects with business goals, leading business innovation, and organizational change programs.
There are multiple changes that the leadership must adapt to, and evolve with to meet the business demands. The role of the CIO is even more integral as enterprises shift from tackling digital transformation projects to living in a fully digital society.
