Abstract
This IDC Perspective is aimed at helping CIOs understand their future roles and opportunities in driving and enabling change. It explains why they are uniquely positioned, what traits and characteristics they need to develop, what key elements underpin change initiatives, and what roles and imperatives they must address to achieve success.
"As change agents, CIOs can play two key roles — they sometimes initiate and drive change initiatives, but they always enable and facilitate change," says Marc Strohlein, adjunct research advisor with IDC's Research Network. "And entrepreneurial change agents will employ a blended strategy where business needs drive technology strategies and emerging technologies drive business opportunities and strategies."
