Bridging Innovation and Delivery:
A Balancing Act
Innovation is a critical driver across all industries to remain competitive while preparing the organization to be future ready. The business expects CIOs to deliver innovation that leads to growth, efficiency, advancement of capabilities all while managing the risk. Development of innovation must be balanced with today’s business needs.
The challenge is choosing the right innovation to drive business growth, improve processes, and bring new & improved products/services to the market.
To achieve success, CIOs must be the bridge between multiple lines of businesses and be the catalyst to drive change in partnership with the business. It is a Balancing Act to align with the business vision & strategy, internal & external stakeholder requirements, and innovative ideas generated through interactions with the customers, suppliers and other partners.
