Redefining the CIO’s Role in Shaping Business Strategy

The role of the CIO has never carried more weight. AI and data are not just reshaping industries, they are reshaping leadership itself. The boundaries between technology and business are dissolving, placing CIOs at the heart of strategic decision-making. The question is no longer how can IT support the business? but rather how can technology propel it forward, unlock new opportunities, and redefine competitive advantage?

This evolution is both exhilarating and demanding. The CIO must be an innovator, a risk manager, a business strategist, and a transformation leader all at once. How do you harness AI and data to fuel innovation while ensuring security and governance? How do you lead in an environment where technology is no longer a function but the foundation of business itself?

Program

This isn’t just a meeting, it’s the first step in defining the future of the CIO in 2025 and beyond.

Questions:

  • Did CEO and board expectations towards the CIO change in your organisation over the past couple of years?
  • How have you repositioned yourself as a business leader rather than just a technology leader?
  • What are the biggest cultural or mindset shifts needed within IT teams to become more business-focused? And thus align with or support your and their new role? 
  • Was there also a shift required from your peers in the CoDir to increase their digital literacy? 
  • How do you balance the demand to ensure all systems keep running while preparing the company for its (digital) future??
  • What strategies have worked for you in embedding technology discussions into the boardroom and business strategy?
  • Did the conversations you have with your CFO change? Are IT budgets shifting towards a more (business) value-driven approach?
  • How do you work with other business leaders (CMO, COO, CDO) to ensure IT and digital assets are fully leveraged across the company?
  • What new leadership skills have you had to develop to stay relevant for taking up this role as strategic advisor  in this AI-first era? Where do you feel you can still grow? How can CIONET support this? 
  • How do you see your role evolving in the next 3-5 years?
