A recent executive survey from Forrester Research shows that many CIOs have made little progress among fellow executives in being perceived as drivers of the business, in part because their agenda is still linked to the CFO. This connection colors everything they do with a cost-cutting perception. Is it time for the CIO to cut this and other cords with the past?
The Enterprisers Project brought together a group of IT executives to discuss this and other questions. These three leaders share their thoughts on how IT needs to evolve to a new kind of cost consciousness. In this roundtable you will:
- Learn how Peter Buonora, Enterprise Architect at BJ's Wholesale Club, has seen IT in the retail industry move away from reporting to the CFO and focus more on data, customer innovation, and customer experience.
- Find out why Cliff Tamplin, consultant and former Vice President of Technology Support and Risk Management at Hyatt Hotels, says expectation gaps can grow when IT doesn't do a good job of explaining the complexity of developing applications and systems to the business.
- Learn which peer in the C-Suite that Aaron Stibel, Executive Vice President of Technology, Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp., says he works with the most (hint: It's not the CFO).
