A board room set up for a meeting

Who’s Responsible for Building a Digital Business? While someone with a specific title may be accountable for the digital business, leadership in this area is the responsibility of the entire C-Suite. Ownership in this area is huge.

This is not an area that the C-Suite can punt on. Without a willingness to change the culture, not much of value will happen. If this is not a priority, those with the titles in the digital world will be frustrated.

So if you ask me who is responsible for an organization’s digital success, my answer is that the entire executive team needs to develop a collaborative approach to creating value in this new space, and all of them own the responsibility for a company’s success. In my opinion, in excellent organizations this is true of everything that gets accomplished.
