La Newsletter of CIOs who are transforming their organizations

Do you speak transfo.?

Being a good CIO means knowing how to talk - and talking a lot, on a daily basis, to lots of different people, on a variety of topics.

Learn the right lessons from your mistakes of 2023...

If your good resolution this year is to never make this mistake again (but if, you know, the famous mistake that cost you three months of late delivery on a project, and endless discussions with your professions)

My 12 lessons from 2023 for CIOs who want to change the game level

Today we are at the door of a new year, and on this occasion, we thought it was time to offer you a short retrospective of 2023.

DSI + DG = impossible love?

Less talk, more action!

The key to the success of a CIO in a company does not only lie in his ability to communicate well with the professions. You know it well: behind every project, there are relationships (of power?) necessary with the General Management, with the CEO, or even with the DAF.

The job of CIO is not always easy!

Being a CIO is not just about being techno savvy. Above all, it is being the human link between teams who work together to transform a company. It is this fundamentally human character that makes your missions so complex on a daily basis!

Are you getting lost in your budget lines?

Summer has just begun, and you are already dreading the period that will follow your vacation: the time when you will have to design your IT budget. Because every time, it's the same thing: you pull out the Excel spreadsheet, you sit in front of your project portfolio... and you try to fit circles into squares, knowing very well that your budget is not realistic.

Reconcile with your CEO!

As a CIO, you are the linchpin of your business transformation. Well, that's in theory... In our exchanges with professionals in the sector, we often realize that this pivotal function is complicated to adopt for many of them. Not because they lack skills... but because another player in the decision-making chain is in the way: the sacrosanct CEO!

Devenez le DSI à qui tout le monde veut parler

Pour être un bon DSI, il ne s’agit pas uniquement de savoir manier les sujets IT les plus brûlants. Non : au cœur de la réussite de la transformation de votre entreprise, il y a aussi vos compétences en communication, qui permettent de rassembler autour de vous toutes les parties prenantes de vos projets. Et, étant donné l’ampleur de vos programmes de transfo et le nombre de collaborateurs impliqués, la tâche peut rapidement tourner au cauchemar.

IS: the most stressful job?

Being a CIO is not easy every day! Between projects that drag on, leading the various stakeholders to get impatient, the unexpected that accumulates, and the emergencies that pile on top of each other, stress can quickly increase.
