Meet the winners of TechTarget's CIO Leadership Awards, recognizing the contributions and innovations of IT executives who have made strides in various areas of engagement and experience.
The fifth annual MIT Sloan and Deloitte study of digital business reveals digitally mature organizations don't just innovate more, they innovate differently—leveraging ecosystems and cross-functional teams that play critical roles.
This document discusses the need for IT departments to reinvent themselves and become more strategic partners to the business. It notes that historically, CIOs have not been seen as strategic leaders and IT was viewed primarily as a cost center. However, trends are now requiring IT to transform how it operates and delivers value. The document provides examples of how IT can shift from being technology-focused and reactive to taking a more business-driven, proactive and strategic approach. It outlines practical steps for making this transition, such as adopting a professional services model and changing mindsets, while also acknowledging potential barriers to transformation. The conclusion emphasizes that maintaining the status quo is not an option and CIOs can make a difference by leading this change.

2019 Accenture Global Financial Services Consumer Study: Summaryaccenture
The document discusses the findings of Accenture's 2019 Global Financial Services Consumer Study. The study surveyed 47,000 banking and insurance customers across 28 markets to understand consumer values, preferences, and how they want to engage with financial providers. The key findings identified four consumer personas - Pioneers, Pragmatists, Skeptics, and Traditionalists. The personas vary in their appetite for integrated propositions, personalization, willingness to share data, preferences for physical and digital channels, and how they define trust in financial institutions. The document recommends that financial providers personalize offerings for each persona, strengthen data security, fully integrate physical and digital experiences, and expand business models through strategic partnerships.
Visionary IT - Perspectives on the Modern IT OrganizationAlastair Davies
The document discusses the modern IT organization and key trends in the IT industry. It is based on surveys of over 1,100 IT decision makers across various regions and industries. Some of the main points made in the summary are:
1) Modern IT organizations need to be agile and flexible to react quickly to changing business needs while also ensuring efficient core processes. They must understand business needs and drive change.
2) Data analytics is a top priority for IT leaders as data becomes more important for decision making. However, ensuring data quality remains a challenge.
3) Cloud adoption is increasing due to benefits like flexibility, scalability and cost savings. However, security and legacy modernization are still concerns for the cloud
This document summarizes findings from interviews with over 3,000 CIOs worldwide. It identifies four distinct "CIO Mandates" that CIO roles can fall into based on how the organization views IT - Leverage (streamline operations), Expand (refine processes and enhance collaboration), Transform (change the industry value chain), and Pioneer (radically innovate products and business models). The top priorities for CIOs are business intelligence/analytics, mobility solutions, and virtualization. Cloud computing has also risen significantly in priority since the last study. CIOs aim to simplify operations and increase competitiveness through technology innovation.
The document discusses how digital disruption is accelerating change across all industries through the forces of the Internet of Everything/Things, modern consumers and employees. It summarizes the results of a study that ranked 12 industries based on their proximity to the "center" of this digital vortex. The study found that digital disruption could displace 40% of top incumbents within 3 years, yet only 32% of companies are actively transforming. It concludes that industries will split and recombine, and that any company that does not transform digitally risks being disrupted.

Information Rich, Knowledge Poor: Overcoming Insurers’ Data ConundrumDeloitte United States
The ability to effectively harvest and harness data across the enterprise is quickly emerging as a competitive differentiator in the financial services industry. In the insurance sector specifically, a number of pioneers are already making healthy strides toward mastering information management, but for most companies that have not yet fully invested in this transformation, growing market mania around "Big Data" and looming regulatory changes that demand increased data transparency continue to generate considerable anxiety.
While many insurers have already spent and continue to spend heavily on core-system and technology modernization, most still find their efforts have fallen short of expectations and needs when it comes to information management. If data is expected to be realized as a strategic asset, insurers can no longer continue to merely tweak existing systems and business models to clear this data management hurdle.
However, operationalizing information management enterprise-wide is neither an easy nor short-term exercise, as demonstrated by programs already under way at companies that have pioneered the effort. But for many, the potential benefits to be derived from successfully organizing, governing, consuming and analyzing available data assets — both internal and external — are likely well worth the investment.
Still, to achieve holistic data fluency, optimize data exploitation and realize a positive ROI, insurers will need to dismantle numerous roadblocks embedded in their current infrastructure, hardware and software, corporate culture, and business models.

The role of the central IT Services organisation in a Web 2.0 worlddiharrison
The document discusses the changing role of central IT services in a Web 2.0 world. It notes that the focus is shifting from technology-centric to people-centric services, and from building tools to enabling users. Central IT must provide holistic services across the university, incorporate emerging external technologies, and partner with other departments rather than dictate solutions. This requires cultural changes like raising awareness of new technologies, fostering innovation, and encouraging networking and knowledge-sharing to support the modern working environment.

Our annual Global Human Capital Trends report for 2018 showcases a profound shift facing leaders worldwide: The rapid rise of what we call the social enterprise. This shift reflects the growing importance of not only workforce satisfaction internally, but also connections to the external world, customers, partners, and society at large. What does this mean for human capital in government organizations? The rise of the social enterprise demands that the public sector bring a determined focus on building social capital by engaging with diverse stakeholders, accounting for external trends, devising strategies that manage new societal expectations, and creating a sense of mission and purpose throughout the entire organization.

This document summarizes how the Computerworld Premier 100 IT Leaders were chosen for 2014. Nominations were collected from February to September 2013, with over 1,000 submitted. Nominees then completed an online questionnaire from July to October 2013 about their backgrounds, accomplishments, leadership styles, and IT strategies. References for each finalist were also contacted. Computerworld editors and outside judges then evaluated the completed questionnaires based on how closely the nominees matched the definition of an IT leader, which included promoting an IT vision to support business strategy and using technology to help gain a competitive advantage. The honorees are listed alphabetically, with information from their questionnaires. Ten past Premier 100 IT Leaders served as judges to help evaluate this year's candidates
By going beyond managing processes and finding ways to adapt and enable innovation across the entire business value chain, IT leaders can help their organizations navigate, survive, and thrive in the digital wilderness. Successful digital transformation requires IT leaders to cut down silos between departments, foster collaboration, and create efficiencies for people, processes and technologies to help their organizations adapt to the changing landscape. Now is the time for IT leaders to position themselves as natural leaders to guide their organizations into an uncertain but innovative future.
Where does IT value come from? IT is not money. IT is a tool. To understand the value of a tool, what must be shown is how its use makes a difference. The question of "value" is about what difference is important and how that difference is made. If that's not what you're managing, then you're not managing value.
This document summarizes the key findings from a study of over 3,000 Chief Information Officers worldwide. The study identified four distinct "CIO Mandates" that CIOs take on based on their organization's view of IT's role: Leverage, Expand, Transform, and Pioneer. CIOs must understand their unique mandate and ensure IT supports the organization's business objectives. While the mandates may change over time, CIOs are well-positioned to help organizations cope with complexity and generate insights from data.
A new FinTech hub is emerging in Europe centered around Barcelona, Spain. Similar to how the first Industrial Revolution spread from certain regions, the FinTech Revolution is also spreading from its initial hubs in San Francisco and London. Just as certain regions had the necessary "social capability" like skills and infrastructure to import and develop new technologies during the Industrial Revolution, places like Barcelona have similar qualities that are allowing the FinTech sector to grow there. Barcelona offers proximity and connections to Latin America that make it appealing for FinTech companies focused on those markets. The new FinTech hub forming in Barcelona shows how these types of disruptive industries can spread from their initial centers as new regions develop the right environments for growth.

SDI Presence assesses the management challenges of legacy and emerging IT throughout an organization and effective processes establishing for #ITGovernance framework in the first of our new “Building Smarter Organizations” white paper series: “The Business Case for an IT Governance in the Age of Digital Transformation”
A survey of over 2,200 IT leaders found:
- IT teams are increasingly developing apps for customers, partners, and employees, with 42% creating customer-facing apps.
- Top priorities for IT include increasing worker productivity, data visibility, and automating business processes.
- The top areas for increased IT spending over the next two years are mobile apps, cloud migration, and cybersecurity/incident response.
- High-performing IT organizations are more likely to report excelling at digital transformation and staying ahead of technology trends.
This document discusses developing a strategic approach for IT functions within organizations. It outlines six value drivers that IT can focus on: cost-effectiveness, quality, responsiveness, aggregation, agility, and innovation. However, excelling at all six can be difficult and lead to incoherence. The document proposes analyzing strengths/weaknesses across the value drivers and understanding the organization's strategic imperatives. It describes five archetypal agendas for IT functions to adopt: value player, operator, technology leader, service broker, and capability builder. Adopting an agenda helps the IT function focus on providing the capabilities most important to the organization's strategy.
The document discusses the concept of creating an "unbounded" IT organization by transforming traditional IT operating models. Specifically, it suggests that CIOs break down functional silos, embrace multiple speeds of IT delivery, and automate processes early to help streamline development. This would help loosen traditional boundaries around IT and allow for more flexible, multidisciplinary teams that can better support business goals. Creating an unbounded IT organization may require changes to organizational structures, processes, and systems, but could help make IT services more efficient and responsive to business needs.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
