important, of course, but privacy needs to be
recognised as a discrete priority.
What you think is the toughest
challenge CIOs have right now?
For the past year or so, privacy has been the
toughest challenge overall because people
don’t understand its importance, they don’t
get that concept. Now, privacy education is
the toughest challenge because CIOs need
to educate people. People understand what
their customers want.
People understand the marketing challenges

part of the CIO’s organisation to make sure
people take it seriously. That said, nobody will
take privacy seriously if you just talk.
You have got to show it in action and
demonstrate that you understand and
take it as a priority. You have to make the

forecasting, much better planning. If you
have those goals, analytics plays a crucial
role in reaching them.
Can any business afford to
ignore analytics? Within the typical IT organisation, functions
are often fragmented and siloed. Your
networking team performs their own specific
functions as do the IT auditors, the IT security
team, and the rest of the teams in IT.
The straight answer is ‘absolutely not’.
For any business, the first step is to
measure. The next step is to actually see
the effectiveness and also to answer some
very tough questions. To really know what

businesses gain value from analytics?
