Ep. 93: The role of the c-level and the board in digital transformation with Jorge Arevalo

In this episode, Peter Maddison and David Sharrock have a special guest, Jorge Arevalo, CIO, CTO, IT Director, and consultant. The topic of discussion for today's episode revolves around the role of C-level executives and the board in the context of digital transformation. Jorge shares his firsthand experiences with digital transformation projects in the banking sector and sheds light on the challenges C-level executives and boards face during these initiatives.

This week's takeaways:

• Understand the why. Having a clear understanding of the why will help to guide the transformation and ensure that it is successful.
• Create a safe environment. In a safe environment, people feel comfortable enough to speak up resulting in a greater willingness to share ideas and take risks.
• Ensure digital literacy. The board of directors should have a basic understanding of digital technology.  We talk through how to make this happen.
