Technology is rapidly evolving, increasingly transforming industries. It is shaping every aspect of the business, with digital transformation initiatives escalating as a corporate priority. Resultantly, CIO’s need to constantly acclimate to the changing landscape, adapting their personal and professional skills to meet the demands from the new business environment. The pace at which digital transformation is impacting businesses has positioned many of them in a more strategic role – contributing to business strategy while driving leadership and innovation.
Such expansion of responsibilities has been embraced by some CIOs, creating vast opportunities to solve enterprise-level problems, create business value and deliver competitive advantages. However, this evolving role also brings with it a myriad of challenges. CIOs must therefore evolve, seize opportunities and overcome challenges, to enable their organizations to succeed.
