FINAL WORD
CEO leads C-suite , C-suite drives business
Lars Koelendorf , EMEA Vice President , Solutions and Enablement at Aruba HPE says CEOs need to work closely with their CIOs to understand the impact that the network could have on every area of business .
As a CEO , it is impossible to be involved in every single business decision , which is why you are supported by a strong C-suite , with each member responsible for ensuring that their area of the business runs smoothly .
So does that mean that you can be a CEO without having a relationship with IT and the network .
The short answer is no . Not given the pace of digitisation , when technology now powers and enables so much of your business .
The long answer is that when it comes to the network , CEOs all have varying degrees of understanding and input . But the stronger the relationship between the CEO and the network , the bigger the impact on IT , the business functions it supports , and the business at large .
Investing in the network
Is there any department that would not benefit from the ability to work better , faster , easier , smarter , cheaper and more secure ? Or any strategic priority that wouldn ’ t be advanced ?
