CIO Straight Talk - Issue 10 - 31

There are a couple of practical things we do
to encourage this. First, we try to make sure
that there are no artificial barriers or artificial
walls between the partner team and the NXP
IT team. Second, in our offices, our team and
the partners' employees who are working in this
building are really mixed. This is true for team
events too: IT partner employees working on
our premises are automatically invited to
employee events.

TooK oNLy 30 DAyS."

We also do specific things to make sure
everybody gets along. For instance, you need
to look at what kind of communication methods
you use. A teleconference is not the best way to
build trust or feeling. Have a video conference
instead, so you can see the body language and
what kind of shirt the guy has on today. It creates
totally a different feeling. And it prevents team
members from focusing on their email rather
than your conference call.
In five years' time, I'm not sure if the chief IT
officer will be the chief digital officer or the chief
information officer. In any case, I expect there
will be a greater and greater understanding
about the technology and its limitations and
people and their limitations. If you don't
understand both of those very well, your
business is going to suffer.

1

The iT role is becoming less operational
and more strategic. iT people spend
less time plugging things in and more
time redesigning business processes.

The	cloud	makes	acquisition	integration	
6x faster. Especially when the
acquisition	uses	the	same	applications,	
consolidation is so much easier.

3

external	partners	handle	more	of	the	
work now - so it's important to treat
your partners well.
