Senior executives face mounting challenges in every direction in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world.
The rapid pace of technological innovation is driving systemic and material change to business models and operating environments, at an increasingly faster pace.
In recent years, technology decisions have been delegated to an IT Director or CIO. Senior executives did not need to decide on network strategy or software architecture questions.
Today, however, technology strategy is front-and-centre for every senior executive, whether it’s on the topic of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity or emerging technologies like cryptocurrency.
Questions are being asked from all corners – investors, government agencies, regulators – and the strategic decisions cannot (and should not) be delegated to junior colleagues.
Every senior executive now needs to be a technologist.
As a result, senior executives need regular access to an independent, executive-level guide to inform, suggest, demonstrate and educate.
