What’s next for CIOs? Omnicom’s Leif Maiorini has insights
Current business processes are based on human organizational systems and tend to be hierarchical, based on command-and-control messaging (top down), status messaging (bottom up), or information delivered from the front end.
“You get these communication lines going through lots of layers within the organization, vertically,” he says. “A lot of these technologies are going to shrink that down and change the organizational structure drastically. You’ll see a compression of the vertical organization into more horizontal, more focused teams on specific applications.”
Maiorini will discuss how CIOs can face the challenges of accelerating disruption at this week’s CIO 100 Leadership Live: New York conference at Convene, One Liberty Plaza. Anchoring the event’s capstone forum, “What’s Next for the CIO: Preparing for the Next 12-24 Months,” Maiorini and CIO Contributing Editor Lane Cooper will discuss what’s coming next for CIOs, from AI economics to organizational redesign.
