CIO

SENEC GmbH

Apart from regular day-to-day CIO business, the key aspect of the assignment was to bring back passion and motivation to corporate IT, thus initiating a changing self-understanding of its own role and responsibility. After a long period without an existing CIO in office, this mainly included marketing for the CIO domain, restoring the dysfunctional communication between CEO and IT (same goes for certain C-Level), addressing issues such as a lack of overall working demand management or heavy budget topics.

Even only step by step possible, the initially agreed goals to establish predictability and improve efficiency were fulfilled by rolling out an IT roadmap for each C-Level domain and taking strong measures related to one of the IT departments and establishing IT governance and a new target operating model.
