Discover how technology and data leadership are evolving and how to effectively integrate these roles into your own organization 

The proliferation of Chief and C-level roles since the 1980s has led to an overwhelming array of acronyms and combinations. Today we have Chief Information Officers, Chief Technology Officers, Chief Data Officers and Chief AI Officers, to name a few. 

According to a study of data and tech leaders commissioned by Tom Davenport (represented by Leading Thoughts, LLC) and Thoughtworks, 81% of respondents said people in their organizations only understand the roles of different technology-oriented groups either somewhat, or not at all. Yet 78% of organizations view the resources of information, technology, analytics/AI and digital as important. Some organizations have started to recognize the confusion these titles are causing among their teams, and have begun consolidating senior roles in technology and data into what we’re calling SuperTech leaders.
