First, disruption creates an urgent pressure for transformation. Long-established firms are being \u201cUbered\u201d and \u201cAmazoned\u201d. Insurgents may be taking market share through lower costs, faster time-to-market and superior customer experience. In many firms, customers, competitors, CEOs and boards are looking to the CIO for rapid digital transformation and looking for it now.<\/p>\n<p>But the CIO is also charged with providing the stable platform that supports ongoing operations. These are the operational sinews that process the orders, book the sales, schedule the parts and ensure regulatory compliance. Failure or down-time of these back-office processes, which often reside on legacy technologies, can be disastrous for the firm (and for the CIO).<\/p>\n<p>The dilemma is amped up by pressures of risk and time. Accelerated transition can be high risk\u2014data that does not integrate, systems that go down, more human error in an uncertain environment. Added to this is the risk factor of an overstretched IT department trying to make everything happen at once.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, transformation isn\u2019t just about machines\u2014it is about people. For example, a bank may have IT personnel who are steeped in a culture of risk management, process and strict regulatory adherence. These are extremely valuable assets that cannot be morphed into agile, digital-savvy disruptors overnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solving the CIO\u2019s Disruption Dilemma \u2014 the Blended IT Strategy The Economist Intelligence Unit April 20, 2016 http:\/\/businessvalueexchange.com http:\/\/businessvalueexchange.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/20\/solving-cios-disruption-dilemma-blended-strategy The CIO, who is on the front line of digital disruption, faces a digital dilemma.
