The CIO Agenda for 2016
PARThA IYNeGAR
Digitalization is moving from an innovative trend to a core competence for every enterprise. Digital is different for every enterprise and poses unique challenges for each, in terms of talent, structure, innovation and the role the CIO plays in all of these. How should you understand and engage with your enterprise’s digital journey? Is bimodal essential? What talent gaps must be fi lled? How is risk morphing? And how is your role evolving in response?
