    Value

    CIOs need to always have a pulse on the value being delivered by IT to the business. Implementing this core value is delivered within the following sections:

    • Targets

      Quickly glance at how IT is performing against its set targets. This ultimately ties to the CIOs objectives and key results (OKRs). Possible targets could be:

      • IT spend to plan YTD
      • Employee satisfaction
      • Number of projects delivered YTD
    • Investments

      What strategies and business units are investing in IT.

    • Business Enablement

      Review and identify any current Capability gaps and take action to address them.

    • Business Consumption

      See the details of subscription or license costs, the vendor, type of agreement, and most importantly when a contract is ending.

    Risk and Resiliency
    • Service Degradation

      Service availability and performance issues that the CIO needs to be aware of.

    • Security and Compliance

      Security vulnerabilities that are possible risks to the business and compliance issues that need to be addressed to avoid audits.

    Execution
    • Goals

      Standards compliance goals as well as applications retired or cloud migration business goals.

    • Projects in Red

      Understand what the project is slated for along with access to current and past status reports. These reports can include executive summaries on the status to decide whether or not to engage with the project.

    • Upcoming Releases

      Single view to track all new products, features, and enhancements being delivered across the organization.

    • Digital Transformation

      Measure and track execution of the digital transformation efforts within IT, in support of all business units.

    • Saved Items

      Any of the cards or graphs or metrics have drill-down capability, allowing the CIO to navigate down to specific records in ServiceNow. In addition, any section of the CIO mobile has a Save item feature that can serve as bookmarks, so the CIO has a place to go directly to what is top of mind rather than having to navigate to a particular area of the mobile.

      Saved items are all available with a single tap and swipe under Savedat the bottom of the CIO mobile app.
