Digital transformation of business is an increasingly pressing issue for top management of the companies across the world. Appointing dedicated executive is a popular measure undertaken to respond to the challenges of the new era. Many view the role of CDO (Chief Digital Officer) to be “the most exciting strategic role in the coming decade”. There is a wide range of views on the CDO's role, agenda, and competencies. Depending on the nature and the environment of a given business, there are three possible strategic approaches to the digital transformation: “fully digital”, “digitally wrapped”, and “digitally spiced”. Each of these requires a CDO, the digital transformation-focused executive, as an important condition for success, yet the range of tasks such a manager handles is profoundly different in each case. The role of CDO is defined by a diverse and demanding set of requirements; the perfect CDO is a manager with a variety of functions who actively interacts with other executives and has profound knowledge and strong managerial skills.

Purpose In 2017, companies woke up to realize that they were in the process of being disintermediated by West Coast technology players, from Google, Uber and Amazon to Facebook and Apple. Boardroom conversations were all about the need to make a play in technology, and CEOs, CHROs and heads of Talent all began recruiting Chief Digital Officers. However, newly minted Chief Digital Officers have found themselves in new, often strange, and overly ornamental and nonfunctional environments. This paper aims to discuss how to set a Chief Digital Officer up for success. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents interviews with over 100 senior Digital and Workforce Technology executives. Findings The emergence of the Chief Digital Officer is fast tracking the evolution of old industries as they compete in a tech-first world. However, without creating a proper support function, many CEOs, CHROs and Heads of Talent will find themselves cleaning up a mess rather than basking in the sun of a digital transformation. Being able to spot what type of workplace IT executive fits your company, along with having the right expectations and support in place for them to be successful, will allow you to have happy, more engaged and more productive employees for years to come. Originality/value If you plan to operate in a world of digital innovation and in the process hire a Chief Digital Officer, here are the things you need to know to ensure this executive’s success.

The situation of how to deal with Digitalization correctly is much discussed. Organizationally, a lot was promoted under management aspects, and the industry is talking about the necessity of installing a so called Chief Digital Officer (CDO) next to the Chief Information Officer (CIO) / Head of IT. Is this a valuable solution?
