Bridging Business and Technology
Swan Advisory Group is an emerging Business and Technology Advisory consultancy based in the USA, specializing in creating and integrating Business and IT Strategy. We believe that a healthy relationship between Business and IT Leadership is crucial for the success and growth of an organization. This synergy ensures that technology initiatives are closely aligned with business goals, enabling the company to leverage IT as a strategic asset rather than just a support function.
Effective collaboration fosters innovation, as IT leaders can provide insights into emerging technologies that can drive competitive advantage, and when Technology Leadership enters the Boardroom, Board members can influence strategy and IT investments to ensure tangible business value is achieved.
Gain Board Level Confidence
Any “State of the CIO” research will tell you that CIOs have Board expectations to broaden their remit and step over the traditional line to help drive business value.
The modern IT Leader faces an unprecedented demand to lead IT Strategy and prepare the organisation for the next wave of innovation.
IT Leaders are now expected to 'keep the lights on' while solidifying the foundations for a digital business through continuous modernization and optimization whilst navigating skills shortages and budgetary constraints.
A difficult challenge under any circumstance.
For example... a recent Deloitte Global Boardroom Program survey highlights that 45% of Board members say that AI is not yet on the Board of Directors agenda. Other key takeaways include:
- 79% say their Boards have limited, minimal or no knowledge or experience with AI.
- Just 2% say their Boards were highly knowledgeable and experienced with AI.
- 41% say their organizations are not ready for AI.
Swan Advisory Group can help Technology Leaders bring advancements in technology opportunities to their Boards attention.
