‘A CIO should be given broader roles than just maintaining IT’

Commitment as a Tech Head
With technologies that allow organizations to connect directly with customers, to monitor social feeds, and to re-adjust their supply chain in an instant requires agile technology leader as their CIO.I believe that when CIOs play an active role in business strategy, IT performance improves on a wide range of functional and business tasks. For companies with the most involved CIOs, IT facilitates business activities, including new-market entry and the creation of new products and services.

A CIO should report to the CEO, rather than to leaders of other support functions. This would establish clear partnerships between the IT and corporate-strategy functions and hold both business and IT leaders accountable for big business strategy and growth.

Experience Cell
There is a growing importance of the recruiting machine as a driver of better IT talent. In my experience, hiring new talent is often left to the HR team, but the real work and ownership should lie with the CIO and IT leadership. A CIO must provide HR with inputs on the most relevant elements of a role’s requirements, the necessary capabilities, the criteria for evaluating candidates, the best sources of talent, along with a forecast of their talent needs in future. This requires regular reskilling of these resources on new and emerging technologies.

To address this talent challenge, I plan to automate some repetitive or mundane tasks to free internal resources for newer technology projects.

Key Priorities
A successful CIO has to transition from a sheer technology leader to a business leader by demonstrating effective adoption of newer technology for providing business a position of leadership. Digital transformation, new technologies and increased need for C-level engagement have forced CIOs to evolve and be more agile.

Working with various business units, meeting their needs, and responding to their priorities, shall be our top priority for the current year. We earlier focused on development of IoT solutions for solar energy and we shall focus of expanding business through use of IoT solution in the solar industry. Our priority will also be focused on the security of IoT devices and solution.

The job of a CIO is becoming increasingly difficult in the digital era with pressure to keep costs down, maintain a consistent infrastructure and to regularly innovate. Adoption of new era technologies like mobility, cloud computing and big data analytics have made the CIO role a challenging one and this has made the CIO a more visible face of the business by way of digital business innovations.
