Technology leadership is a significant factor in driving innovation to make a positive impact on the business, customers, and society. As such, the role of technology leaders has become multifaceted with increased responsibilities across areas such as governance, privacy and cybersecurity, AI, talent development, sustainability, and bridging the digital divide. Despite these being longstanding critical areas of focus, current practices, public perception, and debates around the emerging use of technologies encourage further discussion among technology experts, business leaders, and policymakers.
