Abstract
This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation focuses on the crucial tasks of leading and governing an evolving enterprise and ecosystem of digital infrastructure, products, services, and experiences. This planning guide provides CIOs with a framework and concrete steps on the path to becoming a future CIO. Understanding the future of the IT organization is the first leg of the journey to rethink the CIO role. The current leadership model must be assessed and contrasted with new needs for adaptive planning, IT capabilities, digital resiliency, and agile crisis management — and effectively communicating the path forward.
CIOs are assuming leadership and accountability in digital initiatives and are becoming business executives in their own right. A CIO's most important role remains technology leadership but has expanded to encompass innovation and strategy. CIOs must lead an IT transformation.
Leadership for future IT demands highly mature IT capabilities focused on delivering the best hybrid of old and new worlds. That will mean continuously recalibrating the digital road map to take a stand for future digital capabilities and build strength in the organization's transformation maturity. IDC's future IT leadership model provides actionable guidance to mature operating models, extend the ecosystem, and engage seamlessly across the portfolio. "The future CIO leads the transformation agenda to the next level of the digital maturity by aligning organizational and IT maturity at every opportunity," says Serge Findling, vice president of research, IDC's Digital Transformation.
