The Digital IT Change Practices


The CIO’s Three “How”s to Lead Digitalization Digital makes a significant impact on every aspect of the business both horizontally and vertically. Embracing digital is inevitable as that is now part of the reality. With the exponential growth of information and technology-led disruptions, IT becomes the decisive success factor for the business’s long-term perspective. CIOs as IT leaders should reinvent IT as the change agent, ride above the change curve ahead of the other parts of the company. Here are the CIO’s three “HOW”s to drive changes and lead digitalization

Three “Soft” IT Management Disciplines IT is impacting every business unit and is becoming the driver of business evolution and digital transformation. With the fast pace of changes, old IT thinking simply cannot move fast enough in the era of digitalization. IT management is multidisciplinary; it not only includes “hard” components such as IT operation and portfolio management but also has some “soft” touch elements. Digitalization means business fluidity. Often, soft overcomes the hard and gentle overcomes the rigid. Here are three “soft” disciplines to improve IT management maturity.

Running a Propositive, Personalized, and Persuasive Digital IT Organization As businesses move into the digital future, technology is the fastest growing arena, IT is in the middle of a sea change. Digital CIOs have to deal with constant ambiguity, rising complexity, increasing velocity, and unprecedented uncertainty, they shouldn’t get stuck with “we always do things like this” mentality and they have to keep IT relevant by running a propositive, personalized and persuasive digital organization for building a strong reputation as the business partner .

Rebooting IT to get Digital Ready Organizations are stepping into the deep digital normal with increasing speed of changes. Information is abundant, technology is pervasive. Never before has IT and business been so closely tied together, never before has technology moved more quickly and missteps have larger trajectory impacts on every aspect of the business. Therefore, CIOs play the crucial role in leading changes as they continue to be put on the front line. They need to deal with constant ambiguity and digital disruptions for rebooting IT to get digital ready.

Running IT as the Change Engine of the Digital Business? Digital is about change. IT is in a unique position because they can oversee the whole organizational processes and they should have the program skills to implement digital transformation successfully. Thus, in forward-looking organizations, IT has become synonymous with the change department. Change Management needs to be the mechanism embedded in the multitude of IT management disciplines, in order to run IT as a change agent.
