The article emphasizes the importance of IT leadership roles, particularly for C-level executives and board members, highlighting a common disconnect between their strategic goals and technological capabilities. CFOs often focus on efficiencies at the cost of deeper implications, while CEOs tend to support their direct reports without technological insight. IT Directors, alongside the CIO, must be positioned as indispensable resources offering cautionary and educational advice, fostering collaboration rather than issuing directives to prevent operational disasters.
This teaching role is critical for high-ranking execs (C-level execs, board members) in addition to those on the enterprise front lines.
CFOs tend to fall in love with promised efficiencies and would-be workforce reductions without understanding all of the implications.
IT directives are often ignored by department heads, and memo mayhem won't help.
You have to position your advice as cautionary, educational - helpful even - all in a bid to spare the business unit various disasters.
