“Gartner analyst David Willis said at the Symposium/ITxpo 2012, ‘The chief digital officer plays in the space where the enterprise meets the customer, where revenue is generated and mission accomplished.’
Willis suggests IT leaders will be in the position to define the CDO, but is a CDO made of the same stuff as a CIO? I would argue they are two different skill sets.
A CIO is a systems and process-based professional, dealing with large enterprise systems, not people. While these systems would affect the role of the CDO, it is a common mistake of companies to push digital on to the CIO or even the CMO.”
