Evolution of the Role
[edit]The concept of a Chief Acceleration Officer has gained relevance due to the increasing pace of technological change and market evolution. As April K. Mills notes, "The CAO understands the recipes for change management and delivers the capability beyond change management, change leadership. While other organizations struggle to achieve even 50% success with change, a CAO delivers improved organizational outcomes more than 75% of the time. While other organizations create 3 to 5 year plans for change implementation, the CAO enables her organization to shrink implementation times by 50% or more. The CAO models the organizational changes and clears the obstacles for the organization, suppliers, and customers to follow. She will drive change, not people, creating accelerated results and sustainable success."
