Business turns, such as acquisitions, cost pressures and changes in consumer demand, have the potential to fundamentally shift how enterprises do business. In trying times, fragile enterprises suffer permanent structural damage. Fit enterprises, however, emerge from these events stronger and more competitive.
What makes the difference? Fit enterprises have CIOs who help their organization align, anticipate and adapt.
Neither a wait-and-see approach nor defensive cost-cutting strategy will power winners through adversity. When crisis arises, organizations need leaders who know what direction the enterprise must move and can instill confidence in their team to get there. CIOs can help prepare their organization for the turns by focusing on strengthening three vital areas: strategy, cost and talent.
Looking ahead, there are many reasons for executives to take caution. Crisis can disrupt the way your business functions, but Gartner insights, advice and tools equip CIOs to improve the fitness of their IT organization and the enterprise to be ready to tackle disruption.
