One in seven companies wants a digital officer

In many companies, there could soon be clearer responsibilities for digitization.

It is true that at the end of last year, only one in five companies (20 percent) had a chief digital officer (CDO) or a head of digitization - and thus only marginally more than the year before (19 percent). But at the same time, 14 percent state that they are currently planning to establish such a position. This is the result of a representative survey of 602 companies with 20 or more employees in Germany commissioned by the digital association Bitkom. However, the vast majority (64 percent) still do not have a CDO or a comparable position and are not planning to do so.

    Interessant wäre die Aufgabenaufteilung zwischen CIO, Chief Information Officer, und CDO, Chief Digital Officer? Werden hier nach den bisherigen Erfahrungen Mehrwerte geschaffen oder ist es eine Umsetzung von “Viele Köche verderben den Brei”?
