Example of CMO and CDO
The digital transformation has fundamentally changed the world of business as we know it. Moreover, all companies have to face the digital transformation sooner or later. Yet how can you transform a company successfully? On this basis, an increasing number of companies are preparing to hand the responsibility for the digital transformation to a specially appointed “Chief Digital Officer” (CDO) or “Chief Transformation Officer” (CTO). Often enough, however, this takes place without describing the tasks of the CEO, CIO and CDO or CTO in sufficient detail and without defining what an optimum distribution of tasks between them should be like.
In the discussions that we regularly have on this topic, it is not uncommon to get the impression that the position of CDO/CTO is primarily created to position the company as an innovative, forward-looking company with a high public profile. That alone is not nearly enough for a successful transformation, however.
It is far more important to ask the right questions at the start. What is the role of the CDO or CTO in the company? What are their tasks? What is s/he responsible for? And by what kind of impact or KPIs should a CDO/CTO be measured? When it comes to the actual idea of an overarching organisational solution in terms of the role and effectiveness of a CDO or CTO, we often sense a fair amount of uncertainty during our discussions with decision-makers.
It is helpful to know the complex digital roles and competencies and to clearly define them and distinguish between them. We have succeeded in building up substantial expertise in all the relevant fields at an early stage.
