Large-scale change efforts achieve 24% more of their planned value when a dedicated CTO oversees them, Bain data shows. There are five critical roles a CTO must play, often simultaneously: strategic architect, integrator, operator, coach, and controller. Many CTOs are in the position for the first time and often don’t have a predecessor to lean on, making external coaching or peer mentoring highly valuable.
The research by Hays, which surveyed 8,853 professionals and employers, found that most were yet to use the technology, with less than one in five workers (15 per cent) using AI in their current role, and just over a fifth (21 per cent) of organisations. The study also found that currently only 27 per cent of organisations are upskilling staff to prepare for the use of AI.
