“Everybody can have a similar strategy, incorporating cloud, artificial intelligence, focusing on speed and scale,” says Lori Beer, global chief information officer (CIO) at JPMorgan Chase. The difference, she adds, is “how you execute that strategy, and that comes down to people and the discipline you have around execution”.
People, talent and teamwork lie at the core of Ms Beer’s strategy around innovation and delivering projects at scale. She manages a $14bn budget and employs more than 55,000 technologists globally across the bank.
