Technology Leadership

Can your CIO take responsibility for enterprise AI, or does the organisation need a different leadership model? Assess the CIO’s capability, authority, capacity and the team around them before creating another executive role.

Should sector experience be essential when appointing a senior technology, data or AI leader? How to distinguish genuinely necessary industry knowledge from experience that simply feels familiar.

You don’t need to match a CIO or CTO candidate’s technical expertise to assess them properly. Focus on their judgement, personal contribution, decisions, influence and evidence of what they have actually delivered.

CIO and CTO responsibilities increasingly overlap. The right choice starts with what needs to change, where technology complexity sits and which decisions the executive must own.
