State of the CIO

Businesses are missing the mark in generating revenue with IT.

Colin Campbell, the Associate Director for Livingstone Partners, advises businesses and business owners on how to sell, buy, and recapitalize their brands with a high focus on how IT can make or break a deal. From the value of investment bankers to how to leverage technology, Campbell shares what businesses should focus on within their IT departments in order to be proactive and gain profits.

“The one thing that goes wrong in most organizations, from start-ups to big companies, is that we focus so much on outcomes that we forget the little steps in between, and that disconnects people from the outcome.”

Bard Papegaaij, the Director and Chief Change Facilitator of Transgrowth International, has focused his career on emotional intelligence in the workplace and the human side of organizations. Although working for the same company, different sides of businesses speak different languages, and it’s up to leadership to translate and involve every side to work together.

Underperforming teams will benefit from this five-step turnaround strategy.

AMAG Pharmaceuticals VP and CIO Shannon Gath uses a five-step playbook that transforms teams from order takers to strategic thinkers. Her strategy has worked with startups, medium and large teams allowing them to create goals and heavily focus on collaboration and personal commitment for success.
