Debating is not for stimulating conflicts, but for brainstorming better ways to do things.
The proactive IT debates help IT leaders to brainstorm better ways to do things and improve management capabilities. Here are the monthly CIO debates collections about envisioning digital IT leadership and running high-performance digital IT organizations.
Is Organization in progress
Is your Organization in the Progress, Plateau or Stagnation of Digital Transformation? Digital makes a significant impact on every aspect of the business from people, process to technology both horizontally and vertically. However, businesses evolve changes at a different speed because they are at a different stage of the business life cycle, as well as they are at a different level of business maturity. Hence, in order to lead change effectively, business leaders should do the check-up continuously: Is your organization in the progress, plateau or stagnation of digital transformation? And how to create momentum and lead change more effortlessly?
Is Hierarchy Good or Bad for Systems? As complexity is pushing the boundaries of the thinking and traditional systems, what we do know is "those larger and more complicated systems" do not have the requisite agility to adapt to more complex and adaptive environments. The more nonlinear, interconnected, and interdependent the environment, where uncertainty and emergence become more prevalent, hence accelerated rates of change, the less likely ordered hierarchical systems are to be the answer due to the rigidity. Hence, we need to adapt to the Systems Thinking and reimagine the digital organizational structure. Systems Thinking is the ability to think the "whole," and understand the interconnectivity of its parts as well.
Unleash Digital Potential of IT Digital technology is faster, lighter, and cheaper. Digital IT can unleash its full potential when technology embraces the art, creativity meets agility, and IT maturity is lifted from functioning to delight via interaction, innovation, and intelligence.
Is Management Pulling in Different Directions when Implementing Agile Agile is about three “I”s: Interactive communication, Iterative collaboration, and incremental improvement. Compared to Waterfall, Agile processes are more robust, adapt to changes and people-centric. However, could it cause the other set of problems? For example, what's the "agile distraction"? And how to avoid management pulling in different directions when implementing Agile?
Is IT an Enabler or an Obstacle to Get Things Done in Organizations In many organizations, IT has been perceived as a controller, a cost center, or even an obstacle to getting things done in the business. What’s the reality of your IT organization? How do you get the non-IT stakeholders to recognize and support the notion that IT and Business are not separate or independent departments? How do you get all stakeholders (IT and non-IT) to encourage the notion that IT and business need to work together to be successful? How do you get non-IT stakeholders to focus on collaboration, transparency, respect, and providing clear leadership?
