High-impact learning for the modern CTO

27% 33% to 50%

As India’s digital journey accelerates, the Economic Times data reveals the demand
CTO’s role is becoming pivotal to for CTOs makes up a staggering 33% to
organisational success. Demand for CTOs 50% of the total demand for CXO roles.
jumped 27% in the December quarter
from a year earlier, as per recruiter
Michael Page.

Companies across sectors, from banking, finance services & insurance to tech conglomerates,
manufacturing & healthcare are hunting for skilled talent. The mandate is to drive technology
strategy, innovation, transformation, and operational efficiencies in a fast-evolving digital
landscape. ‘CTOs are getting a seat at the table,’ says Shiv Agarwal, MD of executive search
and talent advisory firm ABC Consultants.

The substantial increase in CTO mandates owes to a significant shift: The evolution of tech
from ‘support’ to key driver of strategic value in virtually every business function from
manufacturing and supply chain to customer experience and growth initiatives. In line with this
evolution, today’s CTO must think beyond technology as a ‘silver bullet.’ They must grasp long-
term business issues and craft strategic tech initiatives that drive growth and competitive
advantage. This covers a multi-pronged mandate: Balancing strategic alignment with
operational efficiency. Fostering a culture of innovation and evolving into digital ecosystem
architects. Utilising advanced digital capabilities to create dominance. And honing future leaders
and preparing for board-level responsibilities.

In the post-COVID world where digital transformations become high strategic priorities for so
many organisations, the CTO has emerged as a right-hand to the CEO. According to the 2024
State of the CIO Survey from Foundry/CIO.com, 56% of CTOs report directly to the CEO.
Programme Overview
To support this exciting, evolving role, IIM Kozhikode has launched its Chief Technology
Officer Programme. This programme offers a holistic approach to modern tech leadership by
focusing on five key pillars – Technology Strategy and Architecture, Digital Transformation,
Innovation Culture, Digital Operations Excellence, and C-Suite Leadership. Participants will
balance disruptive tech strategies like AI and blockchain with governance levers like managing
IT assets, cybersecurity, and ESG compliance. The programme also hones boardroom influence
with a focus on strategic decision-making and change management. Furthermore, to gain a
global edge, participants can access two online modules from Kellogg Executive Education. As
they learn with peers from around the world, they evolve into agile and holistic technology
leaders.

Given the centrality of digital technologies and the

critical roles they play in every part of the organisation,
the board is getting more and more involved with the
technology function and the CTO is at the centre of all
these discussions. We are witnessing a combination of
the technology, information, and the digital functions
under one leader.

UCB: Data is the New Drug
Digital Transformation Strategy, Leading with Data and Analytics

In 2012, UCB's CIO initiated an analytics-as-a-service strategy to enhance the

company's data capabilities. By 2016, UCB was poised to elevate its analytics
capacity amidst digital turbulence. This case explores balancing empowerment and
enterprise control, and optimal placement of analytics roles. Students will learn to
describe digital disruption in the pharmaceutical industry, illustrate the impact of
data and analytics on customer value, discuss necessary business practices and
culture, explain the CIO's role in competitive advantage, and outline executive
responsibilities for fostering analytical competition.

Banco Sabadell Acquires Banco CAM

Leveraging a Cloud Computing Strategy

In December 2012, Banco Sabadell's President announced the acquisition and rapid
integration of Banco CAM, with expected synergies of €331 million by 2014. The case
centers on the new leadership team at Banco CAM and their challenge of integrating
using an untested cloud computing architecture. Despite Banco Sabadell's strong
M&A experience, there were inherent risks. Students will learn how to plan and
manage cloud computing strategies in M&A scenarios.

Ka Shui: Digital Transformation

Technology Management Strategy, Business Transformation

In June 2021, Ka Shui Group's IT head was tasked with evaluating the continuation of
the stalled Industry 4.0 digital transformation program. Launched in 2016, the
program aimed to create a cyber-physical, connected workplace with smart
manufacturing and self-monitoring capabilities but saw little progress over three
years, causing stakeholder unrest and employee scepticism. This case challenges
students to examine the digitalization dilemmas in original brand manufacturing and
make strategic decisions for future direction. Students will learn to describe the
challenges of digitalization, explain Industry 4.0's role and limitations, and assess
opportunities for reinvigorating the business.

Note: Listed above are a few indicative case studies and may change depending on periodic updates. The programme may include
additional case studies specially curated by the faculty.

How Aggressively Should a Bank Pursue AI?
AI Strategy, AI Innovation Management

Siti Rahman, CEO of Malaysia's NVF Bank, must decide on a bold AI-first
transformation plan proposed by her head of AI innovation. This plan requires
significant investment and aims to drastically reduce headcount and branches,
shifting towards 95% digital interactions. While considering the mixed history with
AI and the importance of the human touch in banking, Siti faces advice from industry
experts and must balance innovation with prudent risk management. Students will
explore the challenges of implementing AI in banking, weigh the benefits and risks of
aggressive versus incremental AI adoption, and understand the cultural shifts
needed for digital transformation.

FINRA (A): Moving Financial Regulation to the Cloud

Cloud-based Technology Management, Leading Change Management

In July 2013, FINRA's CIO prepared to advocate for shifting from on-premises data
centers to public cloud resources, reversing a prior decision. This fundamental
change faced mixed reactions from the board due to concerns about data security
and management. The decision would significantly impact FINRA's technical
direction and job roles. Students will learn to analyse the merits of different cloud
infrastructure models, evaluate how technology decisions align with organizational
values, and develop change management plans for major strategic shifts.
