Stuck in the Middle
You feel the pressure coming from
all around the organization …
The CEO wants IT solutions that boost efficiency and
help the company grow, but the CFO wants to know how
new IT expenditures fit into the budget. The IT staff sees
problems that must be solved, but they also worry about
losing relevance. The IT Director wants to provide input on
chosen solutions, because there are talent gaps that need
to be filled, and the internal team can't do everything.
You have a vision for digital transformation initiatives that
will move the company in the right direction, but the board
wants to know why these ideas are worth pursuing and has
concerns about how shareholders may react.
As CIO, some of your greatest challenges will involve
convincing the board, the rest of the C-suite, and other key
decision-makers to abandon the status quo and implement
necessary, yet potentially disruptive digital transformation
(DX) projects.
You need to show them you have a plan. You need to
present the risks of failing to change and the rewards that
come with transforming the way things work. You must
provide a business case that shows the potential payoff.
DX is extremely broad. While we won't cover every
possibility in this e-book, we will provide you with real-world
examples, and we'll help you develop a plan to explain and
quantify DX to the board and throughout the organization.
Along the way, you'll receive insights from OneNeck

IT Solutions experts who've witnessed DX across
various industries.
DX is an ongoing journey — and a complicated one. It
doesn't happen all at once. It happens, step by step, project
by project and opportunity after opportunity. As soon as
one problem is solved, you turn your attention to the next.
That's why our most important piece of advice to CIOs is …
Dream BIG.
Plan Small.
The CIO
