Today
Post-2018, the primary condition of leadership “is not just rapid change, but constant change.”
![Page 5: Horses for Courses › sites › ...Mar 29, 2018 · J.W.M. Turner. The Fighting Temeraire . 1839. thornton@thorntonamay.com. Horses for Courses. 29 March 2018](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042406/5f20078a893e9644580f4da7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Environment is Complexifying
Not only is the environment in which leadership happens changing, it is complexifying.
Leaders must deal with multiple interdependent landscapes simultaneously
[e.g., the technology landscape, the economic landscape, the cultural landscape,
and the competitive landscape].

My name is Bill Taylor.
I am the NEW CIO at the Department of Transportation at the State of Ohio.
Everybody has an opinion about what the CIO & IT
should be doing
I have just listened to four conversationsabout what CIOs should be doing.
And I am the ONLY CIO at the table.

We are just now entering a 15 year window of unprecedented opportunity to create competitive advantage with technology.
The key differentiator being whether the IS team can crawl out from under the ambition-crushing,

meaning and direction.
