Rise of the Digitally Strategic CIO | Sadin on Digital

The Big Themes:

• Strategic planning: Strategic planning is a lot about what you want to do – but also about what you’re able to do.
• True cloud-native ERP: That includes business intelligence, low-code, data lake – and is different from old-style on-prem ERP. Clients who haven’t seen this are just getting used to it.
• 5G and other advanced networking: The bandwidth is terrific, but latency is the game changer for IoT apps, and other simplified “edge computing.”
• There are no stupid questions: If someone on CIO’s team makes a CEO or board member feel like he or she has asked a dumb question, get rid of that IT person.

The Big Quotes:

“How are you enabling? How are you empowering? How are you teaching them to think differently?”
