No department has undergone such profound change in recent times as IT. The platforms, the tools-of-the-trade and the skillsets required to do the job have changed. The IT function is now integrated into all aspects of an organization and is expected to operate as a business-within-a business. Overseeing these changes is the CIO, a role that is continually evolving to meet the new world of IT.
The shift in the nature of the CIO’s role is most influenced by digital transformation. With these profound changes, the CIO has the opportunity to move from traditional IT roles to become more involved in business strategy.
