Most CEOs and CXOs are not happy with the CIO’s delivery. There is an apparent gap between what the top management needs from IT, and what is delivered. In this presentation, you will get critical insights into what an IT architecture should contain in order to close this gap. This presentation will also help you understand the specific IT building blocks needed to reach business outcomes, and how the IT architecture can serve this purpose – all viewed from a CEO/CXO’s perspective.

CEO/CXO Architecture
The missing piece in your IT architecture
One of the more striking findings in this year’s
survey was the fact that – despite billions of
dollars of investment and priority positioning
on the C-suite agenda – the gap between
the information CEOs need and what they
get has not closed in the past ten years.

PLANNING
Where are we going as a company?
What are our goals?
How do we get there?
Do we need to start a program –
Digitalization program?
What are the criteria for deciding
this?
How much money are we
requesting?
What is the payback?
What is the risk?
What is our capacity?
Do we have the right competence?
In which order should we start the
various projects?
Are there any project charters/
handbook/ policies we should
follow when doing the projects?

 The software industry has made
software for the perfect world, however
things don’t always work out as planned
 The world is full of exceptions. Things
change and evolve, and so do company
plans, objectives, strategy, and goals.
 Having a “perfect world” locked-down
solution doesn’t allow for modifications,
which results in frustrations and costly
workarounds
Exception is the rule!

Summary
The missing piece in your IT architecture
 Most companies are failing serving the CXO level
 Architecture is different
 Less structure
 Another language
 “Hyper agile”
 Cross domain architecture
 Data + Insight + Context + Plan + Execute = Business Outcome
