The latest results out of Gartner show digital business has created a change-ready mind-set for 77% of CIO survey respondents in Africa. It also showed 50% of CIO respondents in Africa are responsible for the digital transformation strategy of their organisation and 43% are in charge of innovation. CIOs in Africa expect to spend the highest amount of new or additional funding in 2018 on business intelligence and analytics (16% of respondents), cyber security (16%) and digitalisation (15%). Digital disruption is the flip side of digital opportunity and incumbents are forced to enlist new technologies or re-invent entire industries and business activities in the fight to remain viable.
