CONSTRUCTION are stepping up to from the back offices they used to inhabit . He is surprisingly modest though . “ I don ’ t think my role is much different from any other CIO ’ s but my approach is perhaps different . We have done a lot of internal disruption to this business , to which it has sometimes adapted well , sometimes less successfully . We do have to learn from our mistakes . Every time we do a change and it goes well we add this to our armory . If it doesn ’ t we spend a lot of time figuring out why not .”
He sees his job as to create an environment that allows every
individual to do their job better without feeling held back by security considerations or capacity restrictions . “ I don ’ t mind complicating the lives of my team more if it simplifies life for the end users . That is what we are supposed to do : create a safety blanket for them to do whatever they want to do digitally by removing their concerns into our world and adding flexibility to their world . That is what every CIO out there should be doing . Don ’ t tell people they can ’ t do stuff – everything can be done ! You want people to want more . That is my approach .” www . hts . com 101
