Very useful analysis of the difference between effective and sub-optimal roles like Chief Transformation, Chief Data, Chief Digital, Chief Innovation Officer.
has an impressive track record of effective transformation and categorises these roles into three categories.
- Dweller
- Tunneller
- Roller
Only one is a true digitally transforming, reforming and innovative model and I have seen all three over the past year. I don't want to spoil the narrative so follow the link and decide where you and your organisation fits.

Many companies responding to COVID have found that their organizations are operating far leaner, meaner and faster than ever before, now that their entire workforce is working from home. Most of my clients are seeing an increase in productivity that is a step-change, not an incremental one. This has led many business leaders to rethink the limits and capacities of their organizations, and realize that maybe there was far more room for improvement than our Lean, Kaizen, Agile masters were telling us. To learn from the lockdown, Roller CTOs would do well to challenge their organizations to produce disruptive results in cycle time reduction and productivity, and give them contextual data to allow them to do so. Successful Rollers will take what they’ve got, redistribute it more effectively, using context, and will generate disruptively-better results
