16 Disruptors Opportunities that can create sustainable positive disruption in IT capabilities, business operations, and sometimes even business models. Enablers Technologies in which many CIOs have already invested time and effort, but which warrant another look because of new developments or opportunities. CIO as venture capitalist CIOs who want to help drive business growth and innovation will likely need to develop a new mindset and new capabilities. Like venture capitalists, CIOs should actively manage their IT portfolio in a way that drives enterprise value and evaluate portfolio performance in terms that business leaders understand value, risk, and time horizon to reward. Cognitive analytics Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing have moved from experimental concepts to potential business disruptors harnessing Internet speed, cloud scale, and adaptive mastery of business processes to drive insights that aid real-time decision making. Industrialized crowdsourcing Enterprise adoption of the power of the crowd allows specialized skills to be dynamically sourced from anyone, anywhere, and only as needed. Companies can use the collective population of the Internet to help with things from data entry and coding to advanced analytics and product development. Digital engagement Content and assets are increasingly digital with audio, video, and interactive elements and consumed across multiple channels. Digital engagement is about creating a consistent, compelling, and contextual way of personalizing, delivering, and sometimes even monetizing the user s overall experience especially as core products become augmented or replaced with digital intellectual property. Wearables Wearable computing has many forms such as glasses, watches, smart badges, and bracelets. The potential is tremendous. Wearables introduce technology to previously prohibitive scenarios where safety, logistics, or even etiquette constrained the usage of laptops and smartphones. While consumer wearables are in the spotlight today, we expect business to drive acceptance and transformative use cases. Technical debt reversal For IT to help drive business innovation, managing technical debt is a necessity. Legacy systems, and even some new systems can constrain innovation because they may not scale or may not be extensible into new scenarios (e.g., mobile), or because underlying performance and reliability issues may put the business at risk. Social activation In today s recommendation economy, companies should focus on measuring the perception of their brand and then on changing how people feel, share, and evangelize. Companies can activate their audiences to drive their message outward handing them an idea and getting them to advocate in their own words to their own network. Cloud orchestration As cloud services continue to expand, companies are increasingly connecting cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-core systems in strings, clusters, storms, and more cobbling together discrete services for an end-to-end business process. Tactical adoption of cloud is giving way to the need for a coordinated, orchestrated strategy and for a new class of cloud offerings built around business outcomes. In-memory revolution Technical upgrades of analytics and ERP engines may offer total-cost-ofownership improvements, but potential also lies in using in-memory technologies to solve tough business problems. CIOs can help the business identify new opportunities and provide the platform for the resulting process transformation. Real-time DevOps IT can likely improve the quality of their products and services by standardizing and automating environment, build, release, and configuration management using tools like deployment managers, virtualization, continuous integration servers, and automated build verification testing. Popular in the Agile world, DevOps capabilities are growing in many IT orgs with either waterfall or Agile methodologies TECH TRENDS Deloitte Consulting For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited. 16
