Highlights
00:18 — Wayne Sadin guest hosts to cover a Wall Street Journal interview with the CEO of IBM, Arvind Krishna.

01:38 — In regards to the CIO and CEO relationship, Krishna suggested the current role of the CEO gets the CIO involved; it doesn’t just tell the CIO to take care of certain tasks. Additionally, this used to be a cost function.
02:55 — The business community and business leaders are much more IT savvy nowadays. While they don’t have to be technologists, they do have to understand what users can do with the technology.
03:15 — CIOs need to own architecture and own implementation decisions. If the business runs in every direction, there won’t be a commonality. So, enterprise architecture and overarching decisions should be made by the IT function.
