There is a structure and discipline to the art of futuring. Every quarter I conduct a conversational walkabout in the CXO community seeking to understand the mindsets, projects, and priorities defining the IT landscape. In Q1, 2022, I am asking in situ CIOs two questions:
- What categorical bucket[s] does the organization place you in?
- How are you dealing with the uncertainties of the current zeitgeist?
Categorical buckets
Are you friend or foe (i.e., are you part of the solution or part of the problem)? Are you a top-of-house insider or an outsider? Are you part of the apparatus that imagines the future or a tool that merely executes the dreams of others?
