Forrester says that CIOs must act as VCs and recommends they support early-stage tech companies and have their own technology scouts. As CIO Angela Yochem told me in 2015, she has set up a process to find “capabilities that are not yet commercially available” and “quickly absorb, test, and utilize emerging technologies, and discard them if they are not appropriate and don’t give us a leg up on our competition.”
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS Forrester has recently produced a matrix of disruptive technologies that is worth sharing. More important is the article conclusion where Forrester recommends that cIO act as Venture Capitalists to actively scout new technologies and companies to leverage this innovation for improved competitiveness. This is a radical departure form traditional IT roles and responsibilities which I believe has important benefits in large organizations where All eyes are on the CIO to lead the digital transformation. Unfortunately we are a long way away from this in most organizations.

As B2B ecommerce matures and evolves, we’re beginning to see businesses transition beyond traditional commerce channels (online and offline). One area where we’ll see rapid innovation is in “browserless” commerce, which is quite simply removing the traditional browser interface from a range of purchasing / service scenarios.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT It is true that Internet permeates every single fiber of the digital strategies and we often forget to think outside the box. In this case, how can we perform eCommerce transactions without the use of a browser? AI, internet of things, chatbots are great ways to explore the opportunities.

WHY THIS MATTERS
I find most of my clients struggling to find time and money to implement technologies that have been around for more than 10 years: Internet, Big Data, mobility, cloud computing, etc. When they do make it to implement them in their organizations, it is often too little too late to make a difference with their competition. As Wayne Gretsky famously said, you should "skate to where the puck will be, not where it is". Thus, every company's strategy should have a clear view on AI, blockchain, robots, 3D printing, Internet of Things, etc. Does your strat plan include them?
