Role of a CIO transforms from an order taker to Business enabler   

Commitment as a Tech Head
Over the years the role of CIO has transformed from a mere order taker to a business enabler. With the fast changing technology, the role of CIO is being looked at as a technology advisor and how the latest technology will help business in creating more value addition to create a competitive advantage over the competitors. While doing this it’s very important on the part of the CIO that he keeps a watch on the investment that will go into the new technology and ensure a proper return on investment. This will help to contribute to the business strategy and growth.

Experience Cell
 Unlike the investment in technology there needs to be an investment to be made in skilling people. As an organization we need to accept the fact that the availability of right skills around the new technologies is going to be a challenge. Organizations need to scale out a road map for the technology growth and how it will benefit the organization. While doing so, it’s equally important to define a growth strategy for the skill sets that will be required for the organization in the road to growth. Hiring the right skill sets and empowering them to do more, giving them the confidence that they are going to be the center of excellence and leaders in their respective domains by ensuring them with adequate resource and growth path will go a long way.


Key Priorities
To cope up with industry standards and growing customer demands, the most important priority is how to embrace the changing phase of digitalization, IoT, Industry 4.0 and thus add value to the product that are being delivered to the customers. Also in the process security of crucial information/data that is getting generated in the manufacturing process is very important.


Adaptability to Organizational Changes
To meet the business/customer demands, the IT landscape needs to be dynamic and flexible. IT and business needs to go hand in hand and IT in no case can deviate from the business goals. Information exchange across the extended enterprise is very much required in today’s world of digitalization.

 

Technology is fast changing and hence to adopt the latest technology more budget needs to be allocated. Unlike Research & Development nowadays Organization are forming a separate cell ‘Technology/Innovation’ for which separate resources/budgets are allocated. This is very much essential to adopt the new technology in a short of span of time so that business will have a competitive advantage.
