There was an article published in Wall Street Journal by Jeanne W. Ross and Peter Weill that What a CEO should ask about IT. It had a great deal of very useful information. Below are the highlights with some opinions and feedback from me about the topic.
In a digital economy, IT is the foundation for doing business. Companies of all types are discovering that how they manage IT is crucial to their competitiveness. How you handle IT determines whether your company’s dealings with customers and suppliers are efficient, scalable and timely; whether employees have the information they need to do their jobs; and whether employees throughout the company see technology as a tool to move forward, or an anchor that keeps them running in place.
A CEO’s role is to define how the company as a whole will do business in a digital economy. They must lead the IT initiatives that cut across all business lines. And it means they must resolve issues that local interests cannot resolve—like what data and processes will be standardized company-wide.
Questions Every CEO Should Ask About IT
- Are we using technology to transform our business, or are we just adding bells and whistles to existing processes?
- Who is making sure the company’s digital strategy is being implemented?
- Is electronic data empowering your people or controlling them?
