Industry Challenges
The technology function has become a key driver of business transformation in many industries. And it is a significant cost element that has an impact on the bottom line. The chief information officer (CIO) and the technology leadership team can play an instrumental role in navigating their business through the downturn and into recovery.
To succeed in this highly dynamic and competitive environment, CIOs and other business leaders will need to answer a number of critical questions:
- How can we provide industrial-strength technology services for the core of the business?
- How do we build a technology function that is agile enough to enable and facilitate rapid change in the direction of the business?
- How can we build a high-performing technology organization in the face of cost constraints, talent wars, and demographic trends?
- How can we reduce technology costs that are driven by the business?
- How do we optimize investments by identifying the capabilities that will really make a difference for the business?
