The document summarizes key insights from Gartner's 2016 CIO Agenda Report, which surveyed over 2,900 CIOs globally. Some of the main insights include:
1) Digitalization is intensifying, with CIOs expecting a significant rise in digital revenues and processes over the next 5 years.
2) To succeed, CIOs must take a "platform" approach that blurs boundaries and leverages dynamic connections both inside and outside the organization.
3) CIOs are seen as leaders of digital transformation but face challenges around skills, resources, and the pace of change.
How to Win at Digital Transformation: Insights From a Global Study of Top Executives
Forbes Insights and Hitachi surveyed almost 600 executives across industries and geographies to learn about their digital maturity. IT and business leaders revealed the complexities, roadblocks and gains they face as they transform their organizations to digital enterprises.
The difficult art of quantifying return on digital investmentsBen Gilchriest
Measuring digital investments is proving to be a challenging task. Many companies have tried to create models that demonstrate the value of digital technologies, such as social media, applying traditional metrics to these. However, it's proving to be difficult to find a credible method.
So how do we make the difficult decision on where to invest in digital; especially when we are under so much pressure to do so much more? Whilst we need some sort of mechanism in place to make informed choices, traditional approaches to ROI are falling short. This paper describes these challenges in more detail (you are not alone, even amongst the world's leading digital companies, the 'Digirati', only 56% create a business case). It also describes three approaches you can take to define a digital business case, and provides perspectives on how to best approach digital investment decisions.

Presenting the results of the 4th annual CIONET IT Trends, based on +2500 global responses, of which +800 European.
The study shows that, overall, IT is becoming more strategic and business focused. It appears that organizations are becoming more digitized with their focus shifting away from tactical and organizational IT issues like efficiency, service delivery, and cost reduction to more strategic and organizational priorities like business agility, innovation, the velocity change in the organization, IT time to market, and the value of IT to the business. Some suggest that IT is the business. Time will tell if this is a widespread trend, but it is here now among global and European organizations, and it is confirmed by a corresponding shift in how CIOs are spending their time.

2015-16 Global Chief Procurement Officer Survey - CPOCapgemini
Capgemini Consulting’s sixth Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) Survey examines Procurement Trends, Compliance Management, Advanced Analytics in Procurement, and the Total Supplier Experience. Since our last CPO Survey, much has changed. During the darkest economic hours, Procurement was called upon in many troubled organizations to stem costs in new and creative ways. For many Procurement executives, there was no longer the need to sell the value of its standard services (cutting costs). Instead, Procurement was being called upon as a partner to drive cost out across the organization, thus elevating Procurement executives into a highly visible role in the organization.
How Social and the Cloud Impact Your Governance StrategyChristian Buckley
As organizations look to expand their SharePoint on premises footprint using social, mobile, or cloud based platforms and services, some governance considerations. Presented originally at SharePoint Saturday Virginia Beach 2013 (#SPSVB)
Digital transformation is fundamentally changing people’s lives and the
ways companies do business. Around the world, we’re working to develop
solutions that give time back, make us safer and healthier, and bring
significant environmental benefits. People around the world are working
hard to create a future where we’re never delayed during air travel due to
mechanical issues. Where smart buildings have ambient intelligence that
allows meeting rooms to adjust to your preferences. They’re envisioning a
world where automobile accidents are almost nonexistent, and your car
becomes a living room or office on wheels. And a world where medical
treatment is personalized based on your DNA, dramatically improving your
health and quality of life. This is what Microsoft calls the digital difference.
We asked Harvard Business Review Analytic Services to help us look at the pace of innovation
and how prepared business leaders are for this change. We also wanted to know what projects
mattered most and what industries were most receptive to and ready for change.
We were surprised by the strategy gap and encouraged by the optimism. Business leaders know
their industries are ripe for transformation, and in most cases are eager to bring the benefits of
technology to their businesses.
At Microsoft, we aim to partner with business leaders to find the digital difference they can make.
Partnering with companies of all sizes, we recognize that one big idea isn’t enough anymore.
Decades ago an innovative shoe design, a beautiful device, or smartly designed software could
lead a company to achieve market dominance for a long time. But now micro revolutions occur
every 12-18 months, so companies must be in a continual state of transformation.
We are moving into a time when rapid innovation and speed to market are more critical than ever.
This makes the partnership between humans and machines critical—when we combine people’s
ideas and creativity with advanced technology, we get digital leadership.
A business leader interviewed for the study said we need to transform “the engine of the
company.” To do this, leaders need to bring in tech and cultural changes that empower their
employees, engage customers in new ways, optimize operations, and transform products.
Rebuilding an organization around these areas creates a fully digital company that can change
ahead of its customers and competition.

Digital customer experience report 2020Duy, Vo Hoang
Digital customer experience report 2020.
Bernard Slowey, worldwide lead for digital customer
support at Microsoft, maintains one of the biggest
mistakes in digital CX is not having a dedicated team.
“A lot of companies have teams of people focused on
call centers, as well as improving minutes-per-incident
and handle times for voice calls with customers, but
then digital is merely treated as a bolt-on to support
organizations,” says Slowey.
More than a third of our research group (36 per cent) is
seemingly making this mistake. For these brands
digital experiences are supported by multiple
functions, potentially between marketing, CX and
customer service departments. This dispersed setup
can result in customers receiving conflicting and
disjointed digital experiences.
However, the majority of the respondents (64 per cent)
recognize the value of dedicated digital experience
teams, which is an 18 per cent year-on-year increase.
Within 18 months of building its dedicated digital
customer support department, Microsoft’s digital team
achieved a 3× ROI (return on investment). This result was
obtained by solving customer issues digitally and so
reducing the volumes shouldered by more expensive
support channels such as voice.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Gartner Executive Programs
Building the
Digital Platform:
Insights From the
2016 Gartner CIO
Agenda Report
2. 2 Insights From the 2016 Gartner CIO Agenda Report
About the Gartner CIO Agenda Report
Each year Gartner conducts the world’s largest CIO survey to track how
senior IT leaders around the globe are balancing their strategic business,
technical and management priorities. We then generate the annual
Gartner CIO Agenda Report, which presents survey findings and case
studies, plus expert analysis and insight — enabling CIOs to compare
priorities and actions with global peers, and glimpse what the future
may hold.
This year’s survey includes the views of 2,944 CIOs across 84 countries,
representing approximately $11 trillion in revenue/public-sector budgets
and $250 billion in IT spending.
Here are some key insights from the 2016 report.
3. 1 Insights From the 2016 Gartner CIO Agenda Report
IT in 2016: Harnessing the power of platforms,
as digital deepens
As digitalization moves from an innovative trend to a core competency,
enterprises need to understand and exploit platform effects throughout
all aspects of their businesses. Not doing so will threaten their ability to:
deliver; attract and retain talent; and have their products/services
perceived as value-adding by customers.
The 2016 CIO Agenda Survey data shows that digitalization is intensifying. In the
next five years, CIOs expect digital revenues to grow from 16% to 37%. Similarly,
public-sector CIOs predict a rise from 42% to 77% in digital processes.
The deepening of digital means that lines are becoming increasingly blurred, and
boundaries semiporous — both inside and outside the enterprise — as multiple
networks of stakeholders bring value to each other by exploiting and exploring
platform dynamics.
Digital leadership is a team sport, with CEOs expecting their CIOs to be “first among
equals.” To succeed, CIOs must rethink and retool their approach to all the layers of their
business’s platform, not just the technical one.
4. 2 Insights From the 2016 Gartner CIO Agenda Report
Unlike a traditional fixed system, with a clear inside and outside (suppliers providing
inputs, and internal people/assets/capabilities creating products/services and delivering
them to customers), a platform provides the business with a foundation where
resources can come together — sometimes quickly and temporarily, sometimes in
a relatively fixed way — to create value. Some resources may be inside, permanently
owned by the company; some will be shared; and some can come from outside.
The value comes largely from connecting the resources, and the network effects
between them.

5. 3 Insights From the 2016 Gartner CIO Agenda Report
To succeed in this environment, CIOs will need
innovative approaches
CIOs have long recognized the power of platform approaches to information and
technology architecture. What’s different now is that new digital opportunities
and evolving threats, including new commercial and ethical challenges, reveal that
platform dynamics need to penetrate, and are penetrating, all aspects of the business.
With nearly 40% of CIOs reporting that they are the leaders of digital transformation
in their enterprise, and 34% the innovation leaders, CIOs are clearly being given the
opportunity to lead a digital transformation that exploits platform effects specifically in:

6. 4 Insights From the 2016 Gartner CIO Agenda Report
Building out bimodal platforms for delivery of better
digital performance
The survey found that the need to innovate is driving penetration of the bimodal
construct — having two modes of IT, and ultimately of the entire business. Bimodal
captures the platform characteristic of continuously building and refactoring capabilities
for the future, and seems to have captured the global business mood, with leading
companies increasingly separating the more exploratory parts of their businesses from
those that exploit the well-established business (e.g., Google’s Alphabet).
Nearly 40% of CIOs are on the bimodal journey, with the majority of the remainder
planning to follow in the next three years. The evidence shows that building a mature
bimodal platform results in significantly better digital performance.
Furthermore, the data suggests that one of the worst things a CIO can do is to delay
bimodal. Those who are planning to move toward bimodal, but have not taken steps
yet, were at the bottom in terms of digital performance.

7. 5 Insights From the 2016 Gartner CIO Agenda Report
When it comes to using bimodal disciplines, the survey suggests that many
enterprises are focused on what’s easy rather than what’s most effective.
For example, crowdsourcing was cited as the most effective independent
discipline, but it ranks low on percentage of use.
Though it’s not unreasonable to start with the easier things, in order to gain buy-in
and experience, the key message is not to get stuck there.
Start bimodal with the easy things, but reach for
higher levels

8. 6 Insights From the 2016 Gartner CIO Agenda Report
Talent has now been recognized globally as the single biggest issue standing in the way
of CIOs achieving their objectives.
The biggest talent gaps are around information — big data, analytics, and information
management — followed by business knowledge/acumen. Worryingly, many of these
gaps are the same ones CIOs cited four years ago.
Talent management practices are not keeping up with the ever-increasing and changing
needs of the digital world. CIOs must think about talent as a platform and innovate with
it, leading to a greater focus on strategies such as:
• Recruiting/rotating staff from outside IT
• Working more closely with universities on internships, co-designed courses, etc.
• Crowdsourcing
• Considering customers, citizens, vendors and partners as extensions (and digital
accelerators) of the talent platform
Still the biggest barrier to CIO success: Talent issues

Managing talent
9. 7 Insights From the 2016 Gartner CIO Agenda Report
As we’ve noted, significant numbers of CIOs are already their enterprise’s digital
leaders or innovation leaders (39% and 34%, respectively). Plus, compared to two
years ago, the majority feel that their power and influence are increasing, and more
believe they are trusted allies and partners of the CEO.
But though most CEOs see their CIO as having the lion’s share of digital leadership
responsibility, they see them sharing it more broadly across the C-level. For CIOs, this
means adapting their leadership style to exploit platform effects, and building a network
of digital leadership inside and outside the enterprise.
CIOs are excited by this opportunity but concerned about cutting through
organizational policies, processes and politics, as well as the sheer volume and
pace of change. But if they don’t free up time (through delegation and prioritization)
and use it to influence and increase enterprise digital savvy, as well as develop
themselves, they will fall under the digital bus.

10. 8 Insights From the 2016 Gartner CIO Agenda Report
Digital business is a reality now, pointing the
way to competitive advantage
While the meaning of digital revenues and processes is open to interpretation,
it’s clear that digital business is a reality now and expected to be a very significant
aspect of achieving competitive advantage and differentiation using information
and technology.
Though not every company and government agency is becoming a platform
business in terms of industry dynamics, new digital opportunities and threats mean
that all enterprises need to understand and exploit platform effects throughout their
businesses to remain viable.
For CIOs, “platformizing” their approach to delivery, talent and leadership presents
an enormous opportunity to orchestrate these layers of the business, create value
for their enterprise and become a key digital leader.
