A Chief Technology & Information Officer (CTIO) is an increasingly common role in business. There is no hard and fast definition of CTIO that will fit all businesses, but in practice the role tends to blend other popular roles to help streamline technology and optimize innovation, data opportunity, and cost. In particular we might see some or all of these functions included in the scope of a CTIO:
Usually responsible for IT including on-premise and cloud-based systems and services. Information Security also often sits in this role.
Leading data strategy, analytics (including Business Intelligence, BI) and performance-based value generation. Data is an invaluable asset and this role seeks to maximze that value.
Usually more focused on customer-journey technologies and platforms, driving customer experience and revenue. Innovation focused, they may sit alongside CIO/CTO roles.
Leading digital product & service strategy with a critical focus on the customer. Connecting product and business strategies and often accountable for related profitability.
Larger businesses managing significant volumes or sensitive data will often deploy a CISO. Responsible for end-to-end assurance of data, systems, technology etc. in all formats.
Although innovation should always be broader than just tech and IT systems, this CIO role is frequently seen as part of the tech profile as technology often underpins innovation.
