The CIO as Digital Pathfinder
The CIO Executive Council has coined a new phrase: “Digital Pathfinder.”
The Digital Pathfinder is that one executive who provides digital literacy and strategy to the C-suite, breaking down functional silos and transforming the C-suite to a “D-suite.” A D-suite has its eyes on the company’s digital future and proactively leverages digital technologies for commercial success.

Of all of a company’s executives, the CIO is most accustomed to having the horizontal view necessary to break down the silos that can exist between functional heads; and of course, the CIO has the requisite technology knowledge to chart a company’s digital path.

Navigating a minefield of buzzwords and jargon is par for the course for today's CIO, often times making it difficult to separate real opportunities from the hype that surrounds them. Adam Dennison, senior vice president and publisher of IDG Enterprise, does his part to help CIOs cut through the noise by producing events that are hyper focused on the most pressing issues facing IT leaders, such as the upcoming AGENDA16, March 21-23 in Amelia Island, Florida. From “digital transformation,” to “IT-business alignment,” to “the D-suite,” we caught up with Dennison to discuss how the trends of the moment are shaping the day-to-day challenges and responsibilities of CIOs.
The Enterprisers Project (TEP): Is digital transformation just a passing buzzword, or is it here to stay?
Adam Dennison: It’s interesting. I’ve been in this industry since 2000, and there are always buzzwords that come and go. Cloud
