2020 Focus: The People

Think Tank - 2:25 pm - 2:45 pm

Successful IT executives focus on the people. Leaders need to read shifts in environmental context including organizational strategy, external driving factors and new opportunities to deliver value to end users. It's important for IT executives to partner with others both within and outside of the organization to aid with the shift in workforce dynamics, emerging technologies and urgent needs of the user base. 

 Takeaways: 

  • IT executives need to focus on aligning strategy to results and tracking tech debt incurred during times of crisis 
  • Employee empowerment is critical to delivering organizational results enabled by IT  
  • Leadership needs to bridge the strategy of the organization with the capabilities of their teams and recognize when status quo is no longer sufficient
