But the usual laundry list of priorities for IT hasn’t gone away. Fundamentals like security, cost control, identity management, container sprawl, data management, and hardware refreshes remain key strategic areas for CIOs to deal with.

People are among the most prized assets of many startup companies, so when employees leave after an acquisition, it can be a substantial loss for the acquiring company.

In the ever-evolving arena of executive recruitment , the quaint notion of measuring a search firm’s prowess by the girth of their Rolodex—or the extent of their social registry, if you will—is as archaic as the term “Rolodex” itself. It conjures images of dusty offices filled with towering stacks of index cards, each bearing a name and number, a relic of a bygone era.

Four years ago, German multinational Henkel found itself at a crossroads. Like many incumbents in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry, Henkel was slow to embrace digital technologies, resulting in a widening disconnect between the 147-year-old company and the changing needs of its customers. As Henkel CDIO Michael Nilles puts it, by 2019, Marc Andreessen’s pronouncement that “software is eating the world” had come true for the CPG sector, and Henkel was at risk of falling behind.

Recent research suggests that when resources become limited, many business leaders’ inclinations are to become risk-averse and protect their own interests, fostering a culture of conservatism and prioritizing stability over innovation. In such circumstances, the emphasis often shifts toward preserving existing assets, reducing expenditures, and maintaining the status quo, which can hinder the organization’s ability to adapt, pivot, and thrive in a competitive environment.
