The Opportunity
• Our conception of business has
reached a crucial transition point
in the digital age
• Evidence now shows that the
industrial age model of the
enterprise is in widespread
decline
- Essentially failing to properly
employ our most important bridge to
the future: Technology
• We need better models with
which to rethink our
organizations for digital
• But the details of these news
models are not very well
captured and codified yet
• How can CIOs and CMOs better
capture the opportunity and
realize change?

Is a CDO the answer?

The Story:
The Results:
The firm integrated big data across their IT systems, using near
real-time the analysis of 33M customer data records, web logs,
billing data and social media information. The result: The company
was able to cut customer defections in half in a single quarter.

fundamentally remake supply

• Design becomes the most
important element of
business
• Homes and workplaces will
increasingly focus on
suppliers of design, rather
than suppliers
• For many industries, workers
will have to move from
building things to designing
them
• A growing majority of things
will eventually be 3d printed

(social, mobile, etc.) to transform business models
• Create new and highly engaging digital workplace,
customer, and business partner experiences
• Enable emergent, decentralized tech change in the
organization

47. Adjuvi LLC
The Next Generation CxO
• Unconstrain: Provide everyone simple,
easy to understand rules of engagement
for social,
mobile, big data, and cloud.
• Lay the foundation for managing and
governing 10-100x more IT and data.
• Throw out the traditional IT playbook & go “emergent.”
• Enable the CDO to rethink the business from the edge-in:
Budget, resources, cooperation.
• Identify “future of business” skills, then cultivate or hire
for them.
- Hire your CDO instead of waiting for one to be imposed
- Engagement skills of every flavor (mobile, social, IoT,
analytics)
- Both IT & the business must become design thinkers
• Become a change agent and an IT revolutionary. You
might not have your job in it’s current form long anyway.
