I predict more CIOs will ascend to CEO roles in the future. In fact, it’s already happening. Here are three examples of former CIOs who have transitioned to CEO roles: - Kevin T. Hart, SEGRA - Sharon Kennedy Vickers, Software for Good - Ross Meyercord, Propel Software Historically, CEOs have come up from other business functions like operations or sales. C-suites saw CIOs as backroom technologists, not business strategists. That’s changed dramatically over the last two decades. Thanks to the digital transformation happening across industries, the modern CIO is a savvy business leader by necessity. And the rise of remote and hybrid work models has only underscored their influence on organizations. The 2023 State of the CIO report reveals: - 84% of CIOs are spearheading digital transformation - 85% are acting as change agents - 68% are taking on revenue responsibilities - 77% are working closely with CEOs and boards In short, CIOs are not just running the IT show - they're shaping the future of their companies. While I suspect the CIO-CEO path will likely never be the most common C-suite transition, it shouldn’t surprise any of us to see it happening more frequently, especially in technology companies.

At CWS this week, I had many discussions around funding options for Contingent Worker (CW) programs. The approach to funding—whether Supplier-funded, Client-funded, or a hybrid model—varies significantly by region, as highlighted in the Staffing Industry Analysts MSP Global Landscape Summary 2024. These regional distinctions are crucial for global businesses to consider when managing CW programs. Tailored strategies that account for local funding nuances can drive more effective program management and foster stronger supplier relationships.
