Recommendation

You’ve likely heard that all companies are tech companies now. As the melding of tech and business continues, the tech function will slide into new, vital roles: It will build capabilities and platforms to empower innovation in business units across the enterprise, it will make sure these platforms can be easily adopted, and it will create a marketplace so developers from diverse departments can adapt or re-use the applications to suit new uses. This article from the Boston Consulting Group offers tips to recode the tech function, so businesses can embrace a new approach to constant innovation.

Take-Aways

  • As tech permeates every part of business, leaders must invest heavily in data, facilitate tech innovation, acquire and retain tech talent, and prioritize sustainability and security.
  • Agile teams that include both tech and business talent should be at the core of your company.
  • From green certification to data privacy regulations, the future will include stricter, location-specific demands for good corporate citizenship.
