O towards Digital Transformation has rapidly gained pace , riding the accelerating wave of technological development and driven by increasing competitive pressures , emerging growth opportunities and the need to increase efficiency and productivity . Then the pandemic hit , adding to existing volatility and vulnerability , with disruption in global supply chains .
In this environment , it has never been harder for the CIO to be the informed voice of reason and competitiveness when it comes to enterprise technology .
Increasingly , every new effort , whether it is Digital Transformation , environmental , social and governance ( ESG ), sustainability , or a new enterprise strategy , it falls to the CIO , in one form or another , to implement with digital tools and services , making it even more important for the CIO to be informed , effective and decisive .
What if there was a way to make those decisions in a betterinformed , more structured way , and faster ? And could such an approach be developed for the whole enterprise ?

Added to this , data complexity has grown as a major pain point for companies globally , with tech executives feeling the pressure to contain its impact on the business . Technical and organisational challenges may further stunt their enterprise
