The CIO in 2030: humans bid against agents, IT runs as a market, not an org chart
brucemacv · x · 2026-09-16
Dhinchcliffe's upcoming research sketches the 2030 CIO: hiring humans and agents against the same work, letting AI bid in real time for every workload, treating software as disposable output, buying outcomes instead of SaaS seats, running thousands of agents, arbitraging compute/models/talent continuously, and measuring cost per outcome rather than cost per employee. The core thesis: the CIO stops running tech and instead transforms intelligence into value faster than competitors. He is seeking feedback before publishing.
