2,000 Days: A Road Map For The CIO Of 2025
In five years’ time, CIOs will have new responsibilities in the C-suite and across the enterprise, extending their strategic influence over product development, marketing, human resources, the supply chain and more.
They will be challenged to discover new ways of generating revenue and introduce artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities that create unparalleled efficiencies.
To help their companies thrive in the new environment and ensure their own success in the next 2,000 days, CIOs will have to clear a number of hurdles. They will need to reexamine their leadership skills, delving into every aspect of the business to better guide strategy and communicate their vision to others. They will need to attract increasingly scarce talent to swiftly take advantage of emerging technologies in the face of intense rivalry from startups, as well as from established competitors. And they will need to deftly manage the immense cultural changes new technologies will bring to their organizations, encouraging employees to learn the new skills they will need to survive.
