CIOs Have Tiger by the Tail | Sadin on Digital

The Big Themes:



The economy is opening up: Are you ready?
Businesses are developing new ways to delight customers and the
federal government is about pump more capital into the market.


Invest in capabilities to win: Cloud, ERP/CRM,
collaboration tools, networks (5G/Starlink/SD-WAN), and
teleoperations (AR/robotics/low-latency networks).


How do you budget for IT? Old: Centralized as
a fixed number percentage of sales. New: Business-unit led with
tech purchases seen as *business investments* rather than “IT
spending.”


The ability to move faster is a hallmark of true
digital transformation: It’s far more important that
CEO/CFO/BoD unshackles the IT investment process than investing
in any specific thing.



 


The Big Quotes:


“So the worst outcome is we’ve got a tiger by the tail and
they're multiple tigers running off in multiple directions.”
