IDC predicts that by 2026, 60% of CIOs will find their roles being challenged by line-of-business (LOB) counterparts who can better demonstrate the ability to align technology with the organization’s mission and customers.

IDC says the CIO has proven to be critical as organisations try to stay resilient and execute on their digital transformation strategy. CIOs who demonstrate a mix of purpose-driven and people skills now co-lead with their business counterparts to demonstrate and align technologies to sustainable business outcomes.

IDC also noted that many CIOs now often find their voices drowned out by LOB managers who are heavily involved in making technology decisions. This inconvenient truth has put many CIOs at a crossroads in their careers.

If CIOs are to play a technology/business orchestration role in the leadership team, part of their effort will involve building or strengthening relationships with business counterparts.

“CIOs are building digital business platforms that can support extensive ecosystems to seamlessly create and deliver products, services, and experiences and to continually improve on them,” said Linus Lai, chief analyst and digital business research lead at IDC A/NZ.

“In this new world, the role of the CIO has evolved to be one that is a digital business enabler using technology to compete.”
