Monthly take: “We’re changing our mindset from engineering to customer impact."

In an interview earlier this year with CIO Online , Sruti Patnaik — CIO of Camping World — shared how she’s reshaping IT to be more than just a technical function.

Patnaik is pushing her team to not just respond to business requests but to ask the right questions: “Why are we doing this? How does it affect the customer?”.

She’s having the IT department spend time in dealerships and distribution centres, breaking down silos. This way, engineers can see firsthand how their work affects both operations and the customer experience.

Her goal is to position IT as a strategic partner rather than just a service provider. This is a real evolution — from just getting the job done to making a lasting impact on the customer and the company.

CTO guide: Transition from outsourcing to offshoring ????

If you’re a tech leader struggling to build a strong, resilient tech team, we have something for you.
