In the cutthroat business of shipping, where margins are made and lost in a heartbeat, an IT organisation’s role is two-pronged: to enable the business to have seamless transactions with its customers, and to deliver tools to help the business differentiate against the competition. In order to ensure that the organisation successfully delivers on these requirements, it must have the ability to constantly transform itself. But how does a 1,000-strong global organisation form, storm and norm effectively?
CIO of Maersk Line Robin Johnson shares the journey he is taking as he drives transformation in a global IT organisation supporting the world’s largest shipping company.
