Cio Talk Network Podcast

Every time you speak to your management or team, share your verdict on a challenging situation or admit that you don’t know what to do, you audition for leadership. Others expect you to spark hope within them and help them become the best they can be, show confidence to stand alone and the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. So what are you doing to make sure you pass such auditions every time?

To support digital, an organization needs to develop custom software applications or use third-party software packages and tools, migrate workloads and infrastructure to the cloud, and standardize management and governance of multi-cloud environments. First, however, security must be ingrained holistically to ensure that technology does not become the weakest link to managing digital risks effectively. How has this journey been so far? What challenges are the CISOs facing in embedding security in their technology capabilities, and what strategies are effective in addressing them?

There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to organizational culture. Some companies have found success in digital transformation by adapting their traditional and long-established cultures. In contrast, others struggle with the transition because they cannot change what’s familiar enough around them – even if this means losing out on opportunities for growth or business model innovation! So how should organizational leaders determine their cultural holy grail that offers a strong sense of teamwork, where everyone feels welcome and comfortable working together with emerging technologies and process changes, and then enable it for maximizing value?

How well is your business unlocking data-driven capabilities, enterprise-wide analytics, and using it to scale across multiple dimensions? While you may have already started implementing targeted advanced analytics and artificial intelligence use cases, what IT and data architectures, people and processes alignment, and data governance must be established to make data your most significant asset?

What is on the CIO agenda for 2022 that will help enable and shape business aspirations for the best outcome? Coming out of pandemic, as we enter the new year, how are the CIOs planning to align their strategies and resources to launch digital projects faster, integrate systems quickly, and allow seamless and secure access to applications and data?

Leaders recognize the need for employees to learn new skills to stay relevant and profitable in the future. But the inability to maintain an inventory of current skills, identify required and critical future skills, and proactively fill the gap hinders such efforts. So how are business and IT leaders collaborating to ensure proper investment in this strategic and long-term capability-building effort?

Many small and mid-sized companies rely on a dynamic mix of full, part-time, and contracted employees to run their business across corporate and personal-owned devices. With employees' expectations of an ongoing hybrid work environment and the organization's need to maintain security and compliance protocols, it is critical to implement a solution that balances security and user productivity without adding complexity and cost. How can small and mid-sized organizations simplify their IT to yield a more scalable and secure work environment for all employees, whether in the office, airport, or kitchen table?

Organizations want their security investments to achieve intended results and drive significant positive ROI like any business function. For such clarity, how much security organizations need and how much they should pay must be calculated based on operations and technology costs, risks mitigated, and benefits realized. Also, explicit metrics must drive security effort evaluation, performance, and the required adjustments. So how can we move to such outcome-driven security?

Business typically views security programs as inducing caution, restrictions, and restraints.

Spreading the same controls across all business areas hasn’t proven to be effective for security management.

Circularity, aka circular economy, refers to a closed-loop system where we can keep reusing, repairing, refurbishing, remanufacturing, and recycling resources, minimizing resource consumption and waste. It also can help improve resource productivity since we can keep using products, equipment, and infrastructure longer. Since we are using digital to maximize business and user outcomes, can we extend it to enable a circular economy fully?

There is a rapid change in customer expectations, business models, and how work gets done. Yet, from planning demand to building operational capability to establishing a robust partner ecosystem support, many businesses still depend on principles enshrined as best practices decades ago.

What is holding organizations back from taking this leap? What can business and IT leaders do collaboratively to enable this shift?
