14 Inspiring Resolutions for Digital Trailblazers, CIOs, and CDOs on Digital Transformation

admin by admin
January 9, 2023
in News


New year’s resolutions help you reflect on the past and think about some
objectives and changes you want for the upcoming year. I think they are
useful tools for self-reflection, even if many of us forget about them once
the pressures of the new year take over our days and cloud our longer-term
thinking.

This year is a little hard to figure out with the wake of the pandemic
behind us, the threat of a recession looming, and the need to drive
transformative change growing exponentially over time. Just look at
Southwest Airlines’ failure
during the holiday week for an example of an enterprise that didn’t
transform fast enough, and maybe others like
Meta’s overdrive to the metaverse
and arguably risking today’s business. CIOs and CDOs (both chief digital
officers and chief data officers) are facing a challenging year. 

It won’t be easy to forecast and read the tea leaves this year.
Digital Trailblazers
will need to drive their organizations while also considering how to
recession-proof their digital transformation strategies.

Do you need to author your own resolutions, or can you learn from others? I
believe in the latter, so this year, I reached out to influencers in my
network to share a resolution. You’ll find my resolution at the end.

  1. Protect revenue with AIOps: “Savvy CIOs will use technology to
    deliver extraordinary customer experiences in 2023 and help their
    organizations protect revenue. AI that can prevent and resolve outages
    at scale will be a key part of those CIOs’ arsenals.” – Mohan Kompella,
    VP of product marketing at
    BigPanda
  2. Improve service and team health: “Stop worrying about vanity
    metrics like how many nines your service is available. Resolve to set
    well-defined, realistic reliability and performance targets at the
    individual service level and use automation to ensure service health and
    avoid team overload.” – Kit Merker, chief growth officer,
    Nobl9
  3. Accelerate customer-driven innovation: “My entire career has been
    in customer-facing roles, even when I was CIO at Salesforce. I’m coming
    into this year as the new CEO of Propel Software, and my goal is to
    accelerate our pace of innovation so our employees, customers, and
    stakeholders can be more successful tomorrow than they are today. Our
    next chapter is about taking a maniacal customer focus and scaling it so
    we can serve thousands more effectively and efficiently.” – Ross
    Meyercord, CEO of Propel Software
  4. Accelerate hybrid working: “Make this the year you embrace the
    global technology revolution: remote work, automation, and diverse
    teams. Go beyond the limits of your city, your existing installed
    capacity, and the local talent. Don’t let limitations of the past be the
    stopper of your best ideas!” – Arturo Garcia, CEO,
    DNAMIC
  5. Embrace low-code solutions: “In 2023, IT leaders will have to
    figure out ways to do more with less, which will require new solutions.
    To tackle this challenge, IT leaders should resolve to embrace
    high-performance low-code tools. This will help meet critical business
    needs amidst the increasingly fast-paced innovation and complexity
    demands, improve developer productivity while reducing developer
    frustration, and deliver technology solutions customers expect.” –
    Patrick Jean, CTO,
    OutSystems
  6. Integrate customer with employee experiences: “Many companies
    have spent the past few years fine-tuning their internal processes. This
    year, I anticipate that organizations will spend more effort and budget
    connecting internal backend business processes with external
    customer-facing processes to reduce the chaos of managing interactions
    across multiple channels for customers and businesses.” – Stanley Huang,
    co-founder and CTO at
    Moxo
  7. Overcome customer experience bottlenecks: To deliver top-notch
    customer experience and reinvent offerings, overcome three hurdles: (1)
    lack of contextual engagement, (2) pervasive information silos, and (3)
    inordinately high IT dependency. These bottlenecks inadvertently lead to
    higher turnaround time for customer service, mishandling customer
    complaints, error-prone processing, growing operational costs, and
    dwindling customer loyalty. Anurag Shah, VP and head of products and
    solutions at
    Newgen
  8. Shift-left and double-down continuous testing: “As developers,
    engineers, and QA professionals increasingly prioritize mobile
    experiences, IT teams need to be laser-focused on developing quality
    mobile apps and features while also resolving app quality issues across
    the SDLC. Shifting test left and right throughout the development
    lifecycle by employing a devops test toolchain will facilitate a better
    developer experience while also reducing risk and increasing ROI.” –
    Marcus Merrell, VP of technology strategy at
    Sauce Labs
  9. Tame infrastructure chaos: “Due to the increasing complexity of
    infrastructure, my team’s resolution for 2023 is to help businesses tame
    the chaos of infrastructure. IT and DevOps teams can deploy and manage
    environments more easily, businesses have better visibility and
    understanding of costs, and developers can increase productivity.” –
    Edan Evantal, CTO of
    Quali
  10. Expand Reliability Mindsets to Business Teams: “With this new
    socio-technical definition of reliability, we predict teams entirely
    outside of engineering will prioritize it in their process and culture.
    Consider a customer-facing team, like sales. When landing new clients,
    the team must ensure continuity even if people are out of the office.
    They need consistency in their messaging and engagement to prevent any
    deals from falling through the cracks. They must manage unplanned work
    interfering with planned work, just like engineers dealing with
    incidents. The reliability mindset, along with processes and tooling, is
    the best way for these teams to uplevel these skills.” – Jim Gochee, CEO
    of Blameless  
  11. Accelerate to data lakes: “Enterprise adoption rates of lakehouse
    technologies are skyrocketing. We’re seeing lots of movement in
    companies embracing open source, file and table formats. Will data
    warehouses go away in a year? We can’t say yes for sure, but trends are
    pointing in that direction.” – Tomer Shiran, co-founder and CPO,
    Dremio
  12. Prioritize Your Day: “Do not succumb to the siren songs of ‘easy
    wins’ or ‘urgent matters.’ Instead, I will focus on what’s important. I
    will organize my schedule so I can do something important every day.” –
    co-founder of
    Semaphore CI/CD
    and RenderedText.
  13. Focus on a healthy lifestyle: “My 2023 resolution is a
    health conscience one and will align with the seasons. My resolution is
    no carbs or sugar (including alcoholic beverages) after sunset – so
    after around 8 pm during the summer and 5 pm in the winter. If I decide
    to partake, I must do ten pushups before each drink post-sunset.”
    – Kashyap Deorah, CEO of
    HyperTrack 
  14. Commit to lifelong learning: “Every day, write a little, read
    more, and invest even more efforts to reach out to people and learn from
    them. Ask questions, refine your perspective on how you should spend
    your day, and tune your longer-term vision.” – Isaac Sacolick, President
    of StarCIO and author of
    Digital Trailblazer,
    Driving Digital, and this blog,
    Social, Agile, and Transformation.
