The Changing Role of the CIO
Significant – and long overdue – change in the role of the CIO has put IT leaders directly at the heart of corporate action.
They are currently balancing intense operational requirements with high-level strategic priorities, taking a leading role in driving entirely new approaches to innovation.
After years of extensive global surveys, with input from thousands of IT executives and technology leaders, we know very well how precious their time is. The pressure on CIOs has been unrelenting, made all the more complex by the constant need to cut costs while deploying next-generation infrastructure.
With that in mind, it is highly encouraging to see technology leaders successfully adopting a long-desired, strategic position. This shift enables CIOs to take central roles in digital innovation. Today, digital technology does not just enable better service delivery or collaboration; it defines entirely new business propositions.
We are committed to helping organizations navigate these changes. Over the last few years, the focus has drastically shifted toward acquiring the exact capabilities, services, and expert insights required to thrive. From smart city deployments to advanced security operations centers across Europe and Asia, the digital transformation journey is fully underway.
