- The Fourth Industrial Revolution has forced a new set of roles upon CIOs.
- Tony touches on the skills necessary for the modern CIO, including governance as it applies to today’s operations.
- They must also have the ability to encourage and enable transformation—not necessarily force or apply that transformation on their own.
- The IT skillset is also evolving. Tony elaborates on the importance of an IT department to be both business savvy and creative in a way that hasn’t been typical or necessary in the past.
- In order to stay relevant as a CIO or IT operator, reskilling and evolution is critical.
