Title: CIO, Valdosta State University

To deliver on business promises, CIO needs a core team of lieutenants. They should be a mix of dreamers, analytical thinkers, collaborators, and warriors. When you hired them, they were all seasoned professionals. They had the right skills, experience, and attitude. They were an exact match for the role. And, they were in the right mix. With frequent and ongoing changes, it doesn’t stay that way. How do you keep this inner team relevant?

Top reported reasons, why businesses fail to transform, are gaps in management sponsorship and support—internal cross-functional and external value chain collaboration—service delivery workflows and issues related to employee engagement and accountability. Such organizations need to do a master reset, rethink, and rebuild a technology-enabled enterprise performance infrastructure made up of people, processes, and tools for successful execution and sustained results. What does it take to crack this “how” problem of transformation?

With nonstop business and technology disruptions, current leaders at the top are either becoming irrelevant or less than qualified to lead the charge.
