Where we work, where we consume goods and services, where innovation happens, where business value is generated — it all has changed. This raises the question — where next? Gartner shares how you as a CIO and technology executive must lead when your frame of reference, or the “where” of everything, has shifted and disruption and uncertainty continue. This means you must reach beyond what you know today and completely rethink the roles of people, data and technology when creating value for tomorrow.

Ecosystems are practical concepts that every CIO should be versed in. First, there are ecosystems that are centered on the enterprise. Then there are (cross) industry ecosystems designed to create markets, improve whole industries, or converge them. This is the domain of platform business models and decentralized blockchain-based models. CIOs must understand the business concepts and how technology amplifies and make these ecosystems possible.

David Groombridge, VP Analyst, Gartner
Strategic technology trends have significant disruptive potential and set the stage for innovation over the next five years.

If the events of the past year taught us one thing it's that we need adaptability to adjust to business disruptions and increased risk.

Stakeholder pressure is driving the growth in board attention on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.
