Responsibilities of the CIO
The CIO role is getting evolved and changed over a period of time. They become not just the connecting point of any business talk but also a party involved in business discussion to add value to the business opportunity. The business leaders started realizing the potential of right CIOs and get them involved in business decisions. Therefore, my opinion is that CIOs are change agent and also Chief Influence Officer.
Key priorities for 2021
The very important change is CIOs are becoming change agents in leading the digital journey who is responsible for collaborating and maintaining excellent working relationship with business leaders. Considering the speed of digital, CIOs should think beyond annual planning and find new ways to align IT with business digital objectives. CIOs are to cultivate and articulate a digital strategy that is consistent, aligned with business objectives and clearly understood across the organization. CIOs are to ensure that IT organization must deploy technologies that will serve as a platform for developing innovative solutions. CIOs are also becoming more external-facing like engaging with customers, suppliers to ensure that solutions are provided for the market requirements emerging from digital business ecosystem. CIOs role becoming as not just information officer but also influencing officer.
Adopting Work-From Anywhere
Three important changes, one is providing required business users with laptops than desktops. Second is permitting the users to connect to data centers using their personal desktop / laptop in a secured manner. Third is virtual meeting platform used effectively for business discussions.
With a hybrid culture of remote and on premise working, of course the focus also shifted towards security measures for all the end points as well as the cloud landscape.
Redesigning IT & Security strategy
The objective of IT strategy is to create business value to the shareholders or stakeholders. The key is the alignment of business and IT capability rather than designing IT to address business requirements.
Integrating IT strategy and IT security strategy is very important. Assessing the threat landscape and building short and long term security strategy. Evaluating organization’s ability to execute that plan. Identifying top security for the business. Understanding the risk tolerance and risk management risks. Understanding and developing risk strategies.
