What CIO Really Stands For

In this installment of the series, "Shift: Moving Financial Services Forward", we explore a new "I" in CIO. We believe success in the role is no longer just about information, but about interoperability. The ability for your systems to talk to each other is at the heart of all enterprise ambition – particularly in financial services. Stability, security, growth, innovation, agility, efficiency, compliance – you name it – all depend on interoperability. Tune in to listen to a conversation between Nicole Carrillo, managing director for financial services at Workday, and Stacy Carron, Chief Information Officer at Stout about why interoperability is at the heart of CIO success, why it’s critical for business value, why you never really feel ready for transformation – and why you should go for it anyway. https://blog.workday.com/en-us/workday-podcast-what-cio-really-stands-for.html
