Work as we know it is changing.
There is no better time than now to embrace the reimagining of what information can do.
Information (noun): important data at any stage of processing by humans or machines
Reimagine (verb): to imagine again or anew; to think about something in a different way, with a view to creating something new and improved.
By 2035, the AI knowledge worker will be redefined by these trends:
- Enterprises reinvention at AI speed: Machines will take over mundane tasks and AI will redefine all jobs. The speed and pace at which information must move, integrate, and inform decisions across business ecosystems is at a whole new level.
- Cloud, security, and AI converge: Cloud applications will enable the pervasive adoption of AI in business. Security concerns will be exponential because AI enables machines to attack machines. And since every company has become a software company, demand for intelligence across clouds, applications, and borders will grow.
- Trust and stewardship become paramount: Data privacy and ESG goals become everyone’s job. Data zones and sovereign clouds become nuanced by geography but foundational for all global IT operations. And trust in cloud vendors and providers who manage your data like it’s their own will be table stakes.
In anticipation of this, it’s more important than ever to focus on AI knowledge workers across each of our organizations. Whether that knowledge worker sits in IT or engineering or HR or supply chain, jobs must be redefined to embrace AI advancements. And that definition must lead to work that has new purpose and meaning. Knowledge workers across all functions are going to continue to demand choice and flexibility, and our best talent will choose to go if their needs are not met.
The question will be–who is thinking about reinventing the processes and redefining the roles? What will individuals do with that newfound productivity to be more innovative? And how will organizations accelerate this thinking to gain a competitive advantage in the market?
Information reimagined puts CIOs back at the center of gravity
The answers to these questions depend on the information management maturity of a company.
Information management is how organizations think holistically about using data to power and protect the modern-day AI knowledge worker. To drive better integrated and central management of all information within a company (structured and unstructured), mature companies will employ a wide range of tools and solutions to help them manage, govern, and advance large data sets.
Ultimately, how the data and knowledge are then used to improve employee experiences and to advance productivity should be the responsibility of the C-suite. But without the CIO being the driving force behind information management, enterprises will not realize the true benefits of AI.
Today’s enterprises are also experiencing the convergence of transformation agendas (i.e., digital, cloud, AI, data). The tightening of IT budgets is bringing information management to the forefront again because data security and governance are prerequisites for AI adoption. To meet the growing demands across an organization, the key is revisiting how information flows are orchestrated and how cloud architectures can enable speed and scale across multiple AI use cases. By doing so, CIOs can help their organizations drive profitable growth and business transformation.
