MIT CISR

Stephanie Woerner reads MIT CISR's January 2024 research briefing, which she co-authored with Peter Weill and Gail Evans.

Abstract: As large established companies become increasingly digital, offering connected products and services and leading or participating in ecosystems, their tech leaders must balance many demands and opportunities for their time. And as digital technologies have become pervasive in enterprises, these demands and opportunities often fall outside the traditional CIO role. In this briefing, we share how time allocations for tech leaders have changed over fifteen years, and Gail Evans, a technology leader at Disney Experiences, describes how she allocates her time.
