Chief Information officer the true Value creator in the Information age

This is like hitting Bullet on the head.

It is very clear that  21 st century on wards we are entering into information age. As Einstein had said in 20 Th century that as per his equation of e=MC(square) that all matter and energy are interchangeable in this space time cosmos.(we are waiting for nuclear fusion to become commercially viable)

The 21st century on wards we will have everything known to us convertible to information bits. So you will have humans , factories , products and services everything getting converted into information bits , it is matter of time.(we are waiting for quantum computers to become commercially viable)

This information age will be run by computer hardware , software and networking to generate big data which will be analysed to produce results which are neither possible either by humans or machines.

So Chief Information Officer in the 21st century commercial enterprise will be a pivotal role :

1. Whether he is working in a pure computer / information firms like Google , oracle , IBM , Intel , Microsoft ,Facebook etc etc

2.Whether he is working in a normal business producing products and services like cement,  steel , auto , hotels , airlines etc etc

It will be his job to streamline all the line functions in a normal business  enterprise 

Technical side : Projects , Production or QA/QC

Commercial side : Sales,Purchase or Finance 

Get everything integrated generate the big data , do the analysis and give feedback to management which neither humans nor machines can give.

In a normal commercial enterprise the executive pillars are :

CEO Chief executive officer

COO Chief operation officer

CMO Chief Marketing officer

CFO  Chief Finance officer

CIO  Chief Information officer will be the 5th pillar.

Earlier the companies understand it the better it is for them , because competition is going to go on increasing only and now we will have permanent situation where supplies of product/services will always  be more than demand at any given time so it is survival of the fittest.

Here your Chief Information Officer can use big data analytic s to provide you the cutting edge information which neither humans nor machines will be able to provide.

This will be the difference between the winners and losers in this cut throat competition age  and Chief Information Officer will be the real Value Creator in the Information age which is already upon us.
