Implementation+ Innovation= Success
New IT-driven business model innovations can only occur when organizations achieve the right balance between the CIO's two key roles: one as Chief Innovation Officer and the other as Chief Implementation Officer. Both innovation and implementation lenses are required to achieve growth and profits. To gauge your company's readiness, ask yourself these questions: What proportion of management attention should be devoted to IT's role in innovation versus implementation? What should be done to re-balance IT competencies and skills for shaping future business strategies versus IT's traditional operational competencies? What is the role of external IT alliances, partners and vendors in this new environment of growth and innovation? How can you best organize the IT function to ensure balanced attention to future opportunities versus current operations? What portfolio of performance indicators are needed to balance IT's contribution to future versus present?
