Big Data: Changing the Way Logistic Companies Function Today

I see a shortage of big data “masters” – not the analysts that pull KPI's out of textbooks, but the ones that find creative ways to formulate the questions that need answered by data. And the ones that work with the IT teams to help develop systems with analytics in their core and DNA.

Technology Trends Impacting Enterprise Business Environment

The evolvement of the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trend and the inevitable BYOA (Bring Your Own Application) will continue to change the way enterprise IT works. People work on their own preferred devices, using their own set of applications and cloud services. They are finding their own ways to be most productive and IT needs to encourage that, to stop being the keepers of the old order. Our IT team is working to allow more flexibility while maintaining security and regulation compliance.

My roles and responsibilities as a CIO

Business demands more service provider attitude from their IT these days. Working for a company that provides services itself and customer satisfaction is paramount, this trend is even more pronounced. The business sees IT as a box full of switches that just need flipped: this can be frustrating, but it can also be a great motivator.

The role of IT and my role as CIO in particular has become one with a lot larger footprint. IT is not a partner to the business but expected to innovate at every stage of the process – from sales and relationship management through the last bit of service delivery.

Lessons learned as a CIO Many of my peers come from technical background and as their role evolves, they struggle to let go some of their professional depth and see their hands-on skills accumulate some dust. Accept that you will be a mile wide and an inch deep. Also accept that you will have to make decisions based on limited information and some will be wrong.
