CIOs find digital transformation often demands not only technological change but also a re-imagination of roles, skills and culture. This report examines how CIOs are changing themselves and their organisations to ready themselves for the future. 

Today, these changes require going beyond simply introducing new technologies to digitise the company. Pioneering and leading successful transformations require accelerating both innovation and strategic enablement across the entire enterprise. Specifically, we examine how CIOs are using technology to transform every aspect of their business and end-user experiences; define digital transformation for their companies; execute their strategies with high agility; and innovate their business models for today’s evolving demands and market changes.  This report is part of a series developed by The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Pioneering Leadership programme, sponsored by IBM, and drawing on interviews with leading CIOs from around the world.

The Economist Intelligence Unit would like to thank the following individuals who participated in the interview programme:

  • Simon Bolton, CIO, Jaguar Land Rover
  • Renata Marques, CIO, Whirlpool Latin America
  • Theresa Payton, CEO, Fortalice Solutions, and former CIO, White House (2006-08)
  • Marc Probst, CIO, Intermountain Healthcare
  • Ritesh Sarda, CIO, Sun Life Financial Hong Kong
