IT has evolved from a cost focused function to being a strategic partner within the organization. A CIO is often part of the management team and has an increasingly business critical role, especially as automation and digital transformation accelerate.

Leading through change means guiding the organization from its current state to future goals in a structured and sustainable way. Digitalization projects require significant investments of time, resources and budget, which makes it essential to carry out the transformation efficiently and with long term success.

Interim CIO och IT-managers - key roles in digital development

An interim CIO or IT Manager is responsible for:

Leadership and strategic governance of the IT function
Digitalization and change management
Outsourcing or insourcing of IT services
Procurement and vendor management
Measuring and evaluating the business value of IT investments

Technical expertise is still important, but today’s CIO also needs to manage internal stakeholders, understand business needs, communicate effectively and lead with confidence.

Today a CIO may also hold the role of CTO (Chief Technology Officer) or CDO (Chief Digital Officer or Chief Data Officer). With the rapid development of AI and new technologies, the demands on IT competence are increasing and an interim leader can help the organization identify future needs and ensure it is ready for the next technological step.
