What have you done for me lately? The changing landscape of the CIO role
Featuring Gertrude Van Horn, CIO, NCH Corporation
Does this sound familiar?
Yes, you've helped us respond to COVID, equip a remote workforce in a matter of weeks, turn on a dime to support collaboration, drive changes to support a new sales dynamic and transform processes and operations.
But, what have you done for me lately?
Over the past 18 months, CIOs and IT executives have been in the eye of the storm, driving and navigating an incredible amount of change, responding to the rapid transformation of businesses, an up-tick in global security threats, and ever-increasing demand.
IT teams have delivered incredible accomplishments and at a remarkably fast pace. Yet, while they are struggling to catch their breath, many businesses want even more from their IT teams and technology investments. The pace often seems frighteningly unsustainable.
The role of the CIO is undergoing a significant evolution, requiring business intimacy, the ability to leverage rapid technology changes and vendor advancements, and responsiveness to threats and scrutiny of internal costs, all the while meeting accelerating time-to-market expectations.
Successful CIOs will need to rise to these increasing challenges, The best of them will demonstrate tremendous leadership, courage, stamina, expert partnership and collaboration skills, coupled with the ability to inspire incredible talent and foster a culture of innovation, commitment & dedication.
