One of the benefits of examining how companies in other industries utilize technology is that it can often lead to breakthrough ideas for adapting use cases to address organizational challenges. HMG Strategy Founder and CEO Hunter Muller recently spoke with Wael Younan, CIO and CISO at CalOptima Health, the publicly funded health insurance plan for Orange County, CA regarding opportunities for identifying business technology innovation from companies in other industries and why visionary leadership matters in today’s business environment.

I’ve worked with hundreds of CEOs, CIOs, CISOs, business technology leaders and industry executives over the course of my 35-year career.

Although research heading into 2023 pointed to cutbacks in corporate cybersecurity spending, fresh findings reveal that cyber spending is growing year-over-year.
As the threat landscape continues to grow and evolve, CISOs and security executives are having to demonstrate visionary leadership in communicating these threats along with the organization's security posture clearly to the CEO and the Board of Directors. Indeed, adapting to the evolving threat landscape with a future-focused approach is a top priority among CISOs and security leaders in HMG Strategy’s 2023 Research Agenda.
Today’s technology executive plays a pivotal role in helping his or her organization respond to these forces of change. In essence, they serve as conductors to orchestrate the three pillars of organizational success – people, processes, and technology – and to draw upon their unique view of the enterprise to bring these elements into harmony.
