Subject: FedEx EVP/CIO Ken Spangler on enterprise agility as an enabler for innovation

The strategic operating principles of competing collectively, operating collaboratively, and innovating digitally matter more than ever

FedEx EVP/CIO Ken Spangler, my latest guest on the CIO Whisperers podcast, brings a unique business vantage point to his role, having previously served as CIO for each of FedEx’s businesses. Ken points out that the acceleration of technology within business, combined with the added challenges of the past two years, has put added pressure on business and technology leaders to quickly implement new capabilities and improve agility.


After the show, we spent some more time talking about the success pillars he says are central to navigating today’s technological complexities. Head over to my CIO Whisperers column for that exclusive bonus content.

Next Week on the Podcast

Tune in next Wednesday, January 19, for my conversation with Jennifer Hartsock, VP and CIO at Baker Hughes, a Fortune 140, $20 billion energy technology company. Jen and I had a fascinating discussion about the different leadership muscles required to support a company that’s operating at two cycles of business, one focused on a mature market and the other on innovating to meet the needs of the future.
