Introduction
In this increasingly complex and confused world, understanding the opportunities that technology can bring to empower growth and get ahead of the competition should be high up on the boardroom agenda.
Yet understanding how technology can help transform business operations, reach new customers and drive new revenue streams, is only part of the issue. CEOs need to have the digital talent and budget in place to help turn their vision into an effective investment that delivers change for the long term.
It’s fair to say that current and future CEOs will require a much greater understanding of the tech landscape and its potential benefits than their predecessors. This in turn will lead to a much closer collaboration with technology leaders who will be tasked with turning bright business ideas into a practical reality.
In this era of intense change and pressure, The IN Group set out to uncover the biggest challenges facing technology leaders and their non-tech counterparts, and to explore whether tech and non-tech leaders are aligned in their understanding of these issues. Our extensive research contained in this report includes detailed polling of over 700 executives in the UK, US, Germany, and the Netherlands, lifting the lid on the topics keeping them awake at night.
As a leading global talent solutions group offering specialist recruitment and executive search, transformation consulting services, and graduate training, our clients look to us for support with all of their tech talent requirements. This report is designed to go deeper into the issues facing the industry and draw the challenges facing today’s business leaders in tech and non-tech roles into sharper focus.
