“ Third , technology itself has become a lot simpler to adopt and implement . We ' ve gone from an age when it was important to have the right technology to where you can have many choices . As a result , CXOs ’ mindsets about what they were expecting out of their investments are also changing – the amplification of outcomes and value that are driven out of these investments – those expectations are increasing by considerable multipliers .”
Abdi addresses the new CXO expectation , stating : “ The only way enterprises can reach these value multipliers is by taking advantage of more innovation and technology , such as cloud and AI , which are dramatically changing the ways an enterprise can advance their business . The more you invest in these concepts as enablers of innovation , the better you empower your business against disruptions and align your future enterprise goals .”

For Abdi , there is another factor for executives to consider that will define long-term success for their organizations – their people . Abdi begins : “ People should not be a siloed or a second-tier factor in any organization . People are at the heart of everything .”
