    Build a digital-ready workforce

    CIOs and IT leaders can no longer take a slow, reactive response in building digital capabilities. CIOs must rethink how they approach the workforce transformation through a holistic, integrated strategy. A strategic workforce plan is critical to building a continuous pipeline of high-caliber talent.  
    One common misconception is that going digital is about implementing a set of technologies that get you to a digital outcome. And that actually isn’t the case. Granted, technology is an enabler to a set of outcomes, but unless you really think through how you rewrite your company versus rewrite your software, you’re going to miss the desired end state.
