The Big Themes:

• Acceleration as key to digital transformation: Ajay says acceleration is about getting rid of constraints, hurdles, and manual processes within the business.
• Data democratization is nuanced: before pursuing "democratization," companies must make sure they're generating the proper transactional data, that it's readily available for people to consume, and that there's a shared language.
• The modern CIO role: it's about so much more than technology. The new CIO has to drive strategic thinking, by being joined at the hip with the business.
