Perspective CIO role: rapid changes or rehabilitation?

Posted by

In "the ninth annual MIT Sloan school of management CIO seminar", the most respected members of the MIT media lab director Joichi Ito was asked how he how to define boundaryless organization said "try to no limit organization". Ito said: "I think the roadmap, planning and strategy is a kind of limit". I listen to Facebook company's senior personage helpless said, "we have no strategy. We have a strategy when the world has changed."

Facebook in practice agility, he said - and is an enterprise agility. Facebook is a giant enterprise (although screwed up IPO), is not that kind of just started the small company, every week Facebook released new products. At this point can be together and make five years at this roadmap company to do the comparison. "They have to give up the hardware because they have already can't keep up with the" Ito said. At this point and amazon, Barnes and Noble, and compare Facebook, because of their agile, but are to the hardware.

Ito and two other MIT professor in a one-day CIO meeting was assigned in the "academic" group. They attended the meeting, with sponsor words, for mobile and distributed organization "puts forward how to make the best use of technical advice" and discusses the next wave technology will change the company and management personnel working way"

First up and then ask questions, it seems to be a lot of team members the theme of the comments. Ito to sell his creative people have any Suggestions? Achieve it. The cost of innovation has been reduced, thanks to the Internet and cloud computing such technology. "I always say, practice is the best teacher. Just go for it."

But I'm not sure all of these. Scholars from get advice problem is (I should know, because my husband is scholars) they have to learn how to make things speak clear and convincing. The professor's work in the final analysis is the mind induction for writing and students resonate, that they won't forget (good luck). If you have a doubt audience, I think and strive to rigorous than in a big way to dispel doubts. At least this is I listen to my husband and my "argument" have learned.

So I to "try to no limit organization" academic discussion popular is not surprised. I change on campus, and then discuss the rigorous CIO discussion the huge contrast was particularly upset. Discuss the CIO's theme is "CIO dual responsibilities: to save cost and value delivery to support the growth and value" discussion. In the latter, all the more cautious. "It depends" was mentioned it many times.

Scholars encouraging call to action makes me review the CIO role has been determined. Conclusion is all digital, agile easier. As team members, MIT digital business center director Erik Bryjolfsson pointed out, and the atom, IT compared technology more easy to copy. Such as CVS, because process digital, the retailer in 8000 points easy deployment for prescription drugs purchase system. Brynjolfsson said, "has been a huge competitive advantage".

And it's not like scholars use practical actions to support their initiative. Group members, electronic engineering and computer science professor and MIT computer science and artificial intelligence laboratory amount of Anant Agarwal, leading a called edX from MIT and harvard joint investment new project. EdX open-source platform is the purpose of the education to the world's 1 billion population to use online technology, including computer score and for students to communicate with each other BBS. The first electronic circuit course has 120000 students, using the previous 100 class need employees: three lecturer and four teaching assistant. This is a revolutionary business model.
