I agree with many of the descriptions given, but the term leaves many unanswered questions. A midwife facilitates a safe and healthy delivery for the mother and the child, and brings expertise to the entire process. But who (or what) is the new 'child' for 'organizational midwives.'

Or better yet, I asked ChatGPT this question: What's a better name for technology leaders in the future than "Organizational Midwives" ? The answer is below.

Technovation Enablers
Future Architects
Techno-Visionaries
Tech Strategists
Digital Disruptors
Innovation Evangelists
Technology Orchestrators
Digital Change Agents

These alternative names capture the essence of technology leadership and convey the proactive and transformative nature of their work. ...
