[SOUND] Over the past decades, the world has changed tremendously. Technology is now everywhere, and in companies decisions regarding information and technology are crucial. However, despite its importance, IT is seen as a world apart, leaving the CIO alone with his very complex mission. He is seen as speaking his own language and is not often understood by the business departments. It can even happen that members of the executive comedy ask questions such as, how can so large amounts of money have so little impact? This puts the CIO in an unsustainable position. He's condemned to be just the cost center with a sole objective to make savings. This situation is not longer possible and IT must transform itself. Our CIO needs to change and show that this department can create value. Computers should not remain the center of it's universe, but instead he needs to handle IT as a business and become himself, a business manager. And as in a business, and it's to lead different departments. He needs to wear his sale suit. He will convince his collaborators that his solution is the best, and make sure that they're happy with it. He then needs to dress up as a factory director to insure the smooth running of the solutions he just sold. This requires the implementation of a strong and standardized architecture, on which he can build these solutions. He should also wear his accountant suits and measure as much as possible. He needs to master his balance sheets, know what needs to be improved, and what he has to do so? He can then show precisely, how much value he has? And of course he won't achieve to manage a business on his own. He needs to wear his human resource manager's suit, because he needs to take care of very different people and lead them to success. The CIO of the future has to master every aspect of this environment. Three experts in IT, and partners of the Baudson Consulting Group, will share their experience with you, in an online course called Two Speed IT, how companies can surf the digital wave, a BCG perspective.
