On April 3rd at 15:00 CET, top Digital Leaders will delve into the three key shifts that are driving the evolution of IT and the CIO’s roles in an organisation: 💥 Democratisation: from control to enablement 💥 IT as strategic partner: from long-term programs to continuous delivery 💥 Human-centricity: from standardised to personalised Whilst presenting business cases for investment with clear paths to ROI has always been a core skill, it’s now about harnessing technology to drive strategic growth and contributing to the bottom line.

Are you ready for CIONEXT | The End of IT Leadership?

Don’t forget to register 👉 www.cionext.com/21! In this episode, Hendrik Deckers discusses with Aaron how ASICS is much more than a sportswear brand - it’s a fully digital company at the forefront of innovation. Aaron emphasizes that digital leadership has fundamentally evolved from being a back-office function to a strategic business driver. He argues that IT is no longer just a support function but an integral part of the core business strategy, especially in a company like ASICS, where technology enables everything from product design and manufacturing to sales and customer engagement. That’s why Digital Leaders must think like CEOs more than ever - understanding business strategy, customer needs, and industry dynamics. How can IT empower the business by providing safe, flexible environments where teams can experiment, innovate, and iterate? Is it possible to democratize access to data while maintaining strict security standards?

In this edition of #CIONEXT, we will delve into the three key shifts that are driving the transformation of IT and CIO’s roles in an organisation: 1️⃣ Democratisation - from control to enablement: focusing on setting guardrails for security, resilience, and compliance while empowering business units to drive their own tech initiatives through SaaS, cloud, and AI. 2️⃣ IT as strategic partner - from long-term programs to continuous delivery: Businesses now demand smaller, iterative projects that deliver value quickly. The CIO’s role expands to include facilitating rapid iteration, building cross- functional teams, and leveraging data for responsiveness and relevance 3️⃣ Human-centricity - from standardised to personalised: The CIO's focus is shifting from standardized solutions to personalized, role-based technologies that enhance productivity, optimize investments, and align with business priorities to future-proof the organization.
