In Gartner’s latest article, they hit on all the right points, providing great insights into the importance of collaborative leadership and how it makes all the difference in the world during these uncertain and volatile times.
Covering topics like growth, technology, and talent makes it a must-read. I especially liked the BNY Mellon Becomes Data-Driven video.
Okay, so what is the “BUT” in this excellent text?
The numbers don’t add up.
Does these calculation make sense?
Not What, But Who
The following are the number of times C-Suit top executives are referenced in the article:
CIOs 14 times
CFOs 11 times
CEOs 10 times
CPOs 0 times
CDOs 0 times
CMOs 0 times
This is what I mean when I say the numbers don’t add up.
I assure you it is not a matter of feeling slighted. While I have been in procurement for quite some time, I have been in high-tech for over 40 years – so I get the CIO involvement.
The question I have is why, if communication and collaboration are so critical to success, are the leaders of procurement (CPOs) and data modernization (CDOs) excluded from the “Top Exec” invitation list. Not even Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) are on the list, even though in a series of interviews over the years, Gartner predicted their ascension with headlines like:
CMOs will spend more money on IT than CIOs. All signs indicate that shift is well underway.CMOs will outspend CIOs on technology in 2017– Nov 9, 2016 — The firm also reiterated its prediction that in 2017 CMOs will spend more on IT than will CIOs.
As I already know my thoughts on the above, I would like to know what you think. Should CPOs, CDOs, and yes CMOs be included as equal members of the Top Exec planning group? If Yes or No, share your reasoning.
