the past decades, the world has changed tremendously.
in companies decisions regarding information and technology are crucial.
leaving the CIO alone with his very complex mission.
is not often understood by the business departments.
how can so large amounts of money have so little impact?
This puts the CIO in an unsustainable position.
He's condemned to be just the cost center with a sole objective to make savings.
This situation is not longer possible and IT must transform itself.
Our CIO needs to change and show that this department can create value.
he needs to handle IT as a business and become himself, a business manager.
And as in a business, and it's to lead different departments.
He needs to wear his sale suit.
make sure that they're happy with it.
insure the smooth running of the solutions he just sold.
standardized architecture, on which he can build these solutions.
He should also wear his accountant suits and measure as much as possible.
what he has to do so?
He can then show precisely, how much value he has?
And of course he won't achieve to manage a business on his own.
because he needs to take care of very different people and lead them to success.
The CIO of the future has to master every aspect of this environment.
how companies can surf the digital wave, a BCG perspective.
