20 MARKETWATCH How can manufacturers develop effective digital strategies? There are four key responsibilities chief information officers (CIOs) must fulfil in order to develop an effective digital strategy that will drive the success of their business, according to a new ebook from Augury and Frost & Sullivan. First, leaders should ensure that technology is functional, updated, scalable and secure to avoid potential challenges that arise from legacy data and outdated systems. Second, they should evaluate and execute cloud-based strategies for their organisation. Next, CIOs should formulate and oversee IT budgets and resource allocation to maximise return on investment and ensure costeffectiveness. Finally, they can create upskilling and onboarding strategies for current and new workers by encouraging them to use digital tools that help them to achieve more.
