technology enabled innovation


Dipartimenti IT sembrerebbero in declino

The reason is that digital has become ’normality’, and almost everyone now feels at ease with digital technology. In other words, the natural knowledge advantage of the IT department has eroded. To put it bluntly, since everyone and their dog started carrying around iPads, the IT department really lost their advantage on the 'frontier of technology'.


e la colpa sarebbe dei CIO ...


I think the CIO is greatly to blame for this. In many companies the CIOs never fulfilled their roles as such and rather persisted in performing the more comfortable job of Chief Technology Officer (CTO). The reason being that the most of these people had been running IT before it was even called IT. The origins of IT date from the 'Electronic Data Processing' age when companies had units processing vast amounts of (financial) data. Many IT departments seem stuck in their role as 'suppliers of technology'. Very few have really stepped up to what the CIO job description is really all about: having a solid impact on how companies are dealing with information.


Il futuro sarà dei CDO, Chief Digital Officer


The CDO does not implement technology, no, he implements technology enabled innovation.
