Faced with unprecedented uncertainty, businesses now more than ever need their technology leaders to be resilient, agile, and future-focused. At the same time, current market, economic, and social conditions indicate this is the time for transformational, change—and who better than technology leaders to help drive this change?

We’re excited to share Deloitte’s 2020 Global Technology Leadership Study, The kinetic leader: Boldly reinventing the enterprise. The study tracks the evolution of organizations, the technology function, and the role of technology leaders. This year’s study had 1,376 participants across 69 countries and 22 industry sectors including significant participation from the Middle East.

Kinetic tech leaders are poised to reinvent the enterprise.

Top organizations prioritize leveraging technology for business growth and transformational change. To help them envision, enable, and deliver growth and navigate change, these organizations seek kinetic leaders.

Kinetic leaders have four distinct attributes.

1. They focus on organizational agility beyond Agile initiatives.
2. They are obsessed with customers 
3. They are great communicators and influencers especially across the C suite and Board. 
4. They deliver growth and drive innovation.
