Balancing Innovation and Operations

To help the company invent and develop new business models, CIO must find the right balance between two key roles: Operator and Innovator.  

Finding this balance is often challenging. The Operator role is concerned with business continuity, service quality,  and cost containment, while the Innovator role focuses on creating breakthroughs, sustainable competitive advantage, and new revenue streams. Though these roles have somewhat conflicting drivers, the CIO can and must master and synergize them to help the company achieve long-term success.

Operational effectiveness and understanding the business are a precondition of being allowed to innovate and create new  business value by doing something new with IT.

These business innovations may include technology infrastructure improvements, business process improvements. and new products, services, and channels.

By enabling the business to capitalize on the combination of efficiency-improvement technology and radical innovations, the CIO can turn the IT function into a great strategic business innovation tool for the company. >>>
