SPONSORED: To stay ahead of the game, organisations must work methodically to sense new innovations and possibilities, define their ambitions for tomorrow, and journey beyond the digital frontier. In response to these changes, the CIO’s role is shifting from being a steward of technology to a partner in shaping the future of the business. CIOs are required to transition from pure technology leaders into business leaders. The key mandates of CIOs and IT leaders, according to the latest surveys from Deloitte, includes transforming the business, driving top line growth and revenue, and prioritising agility, scalability and innovation.

Few companies are immune to the influence of technology-driven disruption, innovation, or value creation.
