Releasing “The Systemic CTO”
The first version of “The Systemic CTO” is out.
I am happy to share the release after years of reflection, articles and months of writing.
Frustrated, learnt from my experiences and peers — I wanted to equip CTO for developing an impactful socio-technical ecosystem through a systemic approach.
It has been a personal challenge that kept me focused on bringing the big picture required to be an impactful CTO.
The importance of context
Organizations face similar challenges from far, but are unique in their context.
The systemic CTO makes the difference by:
- Understanding the business ecosystem
- Identifying end-to-end business improvements
- Focusing investments for business outcomes.
The CTO has to understand the business ecosystem, its drivers and risks to proactively shape the technological ecosystem.
He also needs to develop an understanding of the end-to-end business activities to identify limiting factors and leverage points.
He also has the challenge of navigating the stakeholders relationships and power to drive changes across the organization.
