Building digital fluency in the C-suite and beyond
Digital acuity has become a strategic business imperative, especially at incumbents with little IT legacy. Here, CIOs share how they are developing digital and data fluency across their organizations to drive better buy-in, more IT funding, and new business opportunities.

Your Strategy Needs a Story

Your Strategy Needs a Story
Business strategy is usually born of a highly rational process, grounded in facts and analysis. Storytelling, often associated with fiction and entertainment, may seem like the antithesis of strategy. But the two are not incompatible. A clever strategy on paper is only the starting point for engaging those who will implement it. Strategies must also be communicated and understood — and they must motivate action. Through stories, mere facts and information are turned into a shared mental model of how the business works and where it is heading. Knowing how to construct such a strategy story as a shared, and evolvable mental model can not only improve implementation but also greatly increase a company’s rate of learning, which can be a key source for competitive advantage in today’s fast-paced world.

My take: Sadly, the data continues to show that most board members are the least prepared execs on both topics. Tech-qualified execs are seriously in demand.

Executives to tech teams: Reinvent us, and make it quick
Recession or no recession, businesses are anxious to digitize, an Accenture study finds. 'Technology used to be the disrupter. Now it's the enabler, a certainty in turbulent times.'
