Editor’s note: Behind our new look

If
there’s
a
common
thread
in
CIO.com’s
editorial
coverage
when
it
comes
to
transformation,
it’s
that

coping
with
change
is
often
the
hardest
part.
But
CIOs
who
have
successfully
led
IT
transformations
say
that

embracing
change
can
be
richly
rewarding—especially
when
the
change
is
so
obviously
for
the
better.

In
a
recent

interview
with
CIO.com
columnist
Martha
Heller,
United
Airlines
CIO
Jason
Birnbaum
shared
how
his
organization’s
focus
on
transforming
employee
experience
allows
employees
“to
create
a
great
customer
experience,”
creating
a
flywheel
of
positive
change.

“It
is
important
for
companies
to
invest
in
change
management,
but
you
need
less
change
management
if
you
give
employees
tools
that
they
really
want
to
use,”
Birnbaum
says.

We
couldn’t
agree
more.

What
we
have
here
at
CIO.com
is
more
than
a
redesign
or
a
new
user
experience—though
it
certainly
is
both
of
those
things.
It
is
a
reimagining
of
the
reader
relationship,
one
in
which
real
people
are
at
the
center
of
everything
we
do—and
on
a
global
scale.

That
is
an
idea
worth
embracing.

Today’s
CIO
audience
doesn’t
just
read
about
IT
and
leadership
trends
and
strategies.
They
watch,
listen,
research,
attend
events,
and
actively
participate
in
communities
to
keep
on
top
of
the
latest
changes
in
the
industry,
learn
from
their
peers,
and
share
their
experiences
and
knowledge.
They’re
a
global
community
of
IT
leaders
who
thrive
on
connecting
with
peers
in
their
region
and
around
the
world.
Our
new
look
takes
this
into
account,
offering
more
opportunities
to
engage
with
our
content,
explore
areas
of
interest,
and
be
part
of
the
conversation
around
IT
leadership
today.

The
award-winning
editorial
coverage
you
rely
on—the
in-depth
feature
stories,
case
studies,
industry
analysis,
opinion
pieces,
and
interviews—are
still

front
and
center.
Enhanced

events,

video,
and

topic
pages
will
help
you
find
what
interests
you
and
stay
engaged.
And
at
the
heart
of
the
site
is
our
new

community
section.
 

As
they’ve
always
been,
the
IT
leaders
we
write
for
are
also
sources
in
stories,
winners
of
our
awards,
speakers
and
attendees
at
our
events,
and
participants
in
our
research.
They
are
the
core
of
our
coverage
and
community,
and
the
redesign
reflects
that
deep
relationship.

The
what
and
why
of
our
new
design

In
many
ways,
the
redesign
is
a
return
to
and
refocus
on
our
core
commitment
to
our
IT
leadership
audience,
highlighting
the
very
best
of
what
CIO.com
has
to
offer.

Underneath
the
fresh
new
look,
CIO.com
remains
a
destination
that
brings
together
a
global
community
of
CIOs
and
strategic
IT
professionals
and
supports
them
in
making
better
technology
decisions
through
trusted
content
and
premium
experiences,
all
designed
to
drive
business
growth
and
career
success.

We
make
good
on
that
ambition
by
providing
trustworthy,
high-quality
editorial
content,
from
in-depth
features
on
the
work
of
IT
leaders
to
one-on-one
video
interviews
with
CIOs
making
an
impact
today.
But
we
also
advance
IT
leaders’
careers
and
agendas
through
our
events,
which
engage
a
global
community,
fostering
peer-to-peer
connections
in
person
and
online.

CIO.com’s
new
design
system
brings
consistency
and
global
reach
to
our
10
regional
English
language
editions
through
a
scalable
and
flexible
system
of
templates
and
components,
from
icons,
buttons,
and
colors
to
full
templates,
providing
an
audience
experience
that
is
fully
responsive
to
your
screen
size,
whether
you
are
engaging
with
CIO.com
on
a
desktop,
laptop,
tablet,
or
smartphone.

While
today’s
site
refresh
may
feel
like
a
quantum
leap
from
the
dusty
days
of
print,
we
are
just
as
committed
to
serving
our
audience
as
we
were
decades
ago
when
the
magazine
first
launched.
Thank
you
for
being
part
of
our
journey
and
for
letting
us
be
part
of
yours.
