AI时代别再写五年计划了！CIO们的“水晶球”早就碎了一地
如果你还在用PPT画那种跨度十年的技术路线图，我建议你把它直接放进碎纸机。在这个AI一天一个样的时代，五年计划？那是算命，不是战略。今天雨生带你看看，为什么你的IT路线图需要一场彻底的“整容”。
雨生视角：我的路线图上只有“此时此刻”和“祝你好运”
你们知道吗？大概十多年前，我刚入行那会儿，一家头部外企来做财务共享中心咨询。他们的CIO拿出一份精美的五年IT规划，骄傲地指着2020年的格子上写着：“全面云原生”。
我在心里默默吐槽：大哥，到2020年，说不定云厂商都换了三茬名字了，你这表格做得比我奶奶的绣花还细致，有用吗？
事实证明，我是对的（虽然当时没敢说出来，毕竟要恰饭）。今天 Mary Shacklett 的这篇刷屏文章《Should CIOs rethink the IT roadmap?》简直就是我的互联网嘴替。她直接点破了一个让很多高管尴尬的事实：
咱们出海圈的朋友们更有体会。你在国内刚规划好AWS的架构，结果美国那边合规政策一变，或者TikTok遇到点风波，你的整个供应链逻辑都得推倒重来。这时候你拿出一份三年前批准的“三年路线图”给老板看？信不信老板直接把你挂在公司的Slack置顶群里当反面教材？
Corey Quinn 曾经说过（或者是我编的，反正很有道理）：云账单只会熵增，而并不会因为你的规划而减少，正如灾难不会因为你有路线图而绕道。
深度解读：除了焦虑，我们还能从这篇文里读出什么？
Mary Shacklett 在文中其实提到了一个很痛的点：确定性的终结。
以前的CIO像个老船长，拿着海图（Roadmap），看着星空，说：“兄弟们，往东南航行五千海里就有宝藏。” 现在的CIO更像是在玩《绝地求生》，毒圈（技术变革）随时在缩，你手里那张图（Plan）上一秒是安全区，下一秒就是轰炸区。
-
别把AI仅仅当成一个要在Q3部署的SaaS工具。它是整个业务流程的破坏者。五年后，现在的运营模式可能连渣都不剩。如果你的路线图里没有给“我也还没想好AI会把我们变成什么样”留出空白，那就是不合格。
-
West Monroe 的那句神吐槽："You don’t need bigger plans — you need faster moves."（别整大计划了，跑快点吧！） 这简直就是给那些喜欢开三天战略闭门会的公司一记响亮的耳光。
-
如果系统挂了，你会算盘吗？这是一个被严重忽视的风险——“故障转移”。如果AI罢工了，如果云服务商宕机了，如果半球化地缘政治让供应链断了，你的人还能不能用Excel甚至纸笔把业务跑下去？高科技的尽头，往往是对低科技的备份。
行动指南：出海人的“保命”锦囊
既然长期规划不靠谱，那我们出海企业该怎么活？雨生给大家支几招实战建议：
-
-
别再一年做一次规划了。现在的技术迭代速度，两个月就是一个世纪。建议每个季度（甚至每个月）审视一次你的IT架构。如果发现方向不对，立刻调转船头。记住，雨生说的“承认规划错误不丢人，坚持错误的规划才致命。”
-
人才比系统重要（Reskilling is King），但组织变革远比系统复杂的很：
-
文章里提到，以前的路线图只看技术，不看人。大错特错！在出海场景下，你最宝贵的资产不是那几台EC2，而是那个懂AI工具、能迅速适应新合规要求、还能在系统崩溃时手写代码救火的工程师。把“员工再培训”预算加倍，这才是真正的护城河。
-
-
别把预算卡得死死的。你需要一笔“战时储备金”。当新的AI安全威胁出现，或者必须切换云供应商时，你得有钱能马上动起来，而不是走三个月的审批流程。
-
-
在海外市场，让一线听到炮火的人做决策。你的IT系统应该支持这种灵活性，而不是变成束缚他们的枷锁。

“别再用PPT画十年的饼了。在这个AI时代，五年计划是算命，不是战略。”
“高科技的尽头，是你能不能在系统全崩时，还能用Excel把生意做下去。”
“You don’t need bigger plans — you need faster moves. 别整大计划，跑快点才是活路。”

读完雨生的这篇解读，背后一阵冷汗。我们是不是在用战术上的勤奋（写PPT），掩盖战略上的懒惰（不敢面对变化）？IT路线图真的该重构了。推荐阅读！
哈哈哈哈，雨生这嘴还是这么毒！“以前的路线图只看技术，不看人。”这句简直说到心坎里。强烈建议老板们都进来学学，别再逼我们做那种根本实现不了的五年计划了。
出海路上坑太多，与其自己摸索，不如听听雨生怎么说。这篇关于IT Roadmap的解读非常有前瞻性，尤其是关于人才Reskilling的观点。关注这一波不亏！

**Headline: Should CIOs rethink the IT roadmap?**
**标题：CIO们是否应该重新思考IT路线图？**
**To adequately serve today’s business landscape, the technology roadmap must be a more malleable and responsive document that can accommodate the disruptive changes companies are likely to experience. Is yours?**
为了充分服务于当今的商业环境，技术路线图必须是一份更具可塑性和响应性的文件，能够适应公司可能经历的颠覆性变革。你的路线图是这样吗？
**Roadmap development in the CIO world used to mean thinking out five to 10 years about technology trends and then planning and preparing for them.**
在CIO的世界里，制定路线图过去意味着思考未来5到10年的技术趋势，然后为此进行规划和准备。
**But with unanticipated and immediately disruptive technologies becoming a fact of IT today, including the need to defend against them in a heartbeat, developing technology roadmaps becomes much more than just planning upgrades to obsolete technology and systems. The complexity and foresight involved greatly reduce the CIO’s horizon of expectations, making establishing even a three-year IT roadmap a challenge.**
但随着未曾预料且具有即时颠覆性的技术成为当今IT界的事实，包括需要瞬间对它们进行防御，制定技术路线图变得不仅仅是规划升级过时的技术和系统。其中涉及的复杂性和前瞻性极大地缩短了CIO的预期视野，使得建立哪怕是三年的IT路线图都成为一项挑战。
**Just what does creating an IT roadmap entail today, and how can CIOs ensure the roadmaps they make remain relevant? Here’s how to rethink your approach to the IT roadmap given the rocky road ahead.**
今天创建一个IT路线图到底意味着什么？CIO们如何确保他们制定的路线图保持相关性？鉴于前方崎岖的道路，以下是如何重新思考你的IT路线图方法。
Prepare for disruption
**IT roadmap planning still hinges on understanding the present technical landscape and projecting long-term implications of anticipated changes in the years ahead. At present, AI appears to be the most impactive force on IT systems and company operations over the next 10 years. Its continued evolution will result in increased automation and changes to the man-machine interface that will make company operations even five years from now look quite different from what they are today. AI in itself is a major disrupter for operations and systems that will need to be planned for.**
IT路线图规划仍然取决于理解当前的技术格局，并预测未来几年预期变化的长远影响。目前，AI似乎是未来10年对IT系统和公司运营最具影响力的力量。它的持续进化将导致自动化程度提高以及人机界面的改变，这将使得甚至仅仅五年后的公司运营看起来与今天截然不同。AI本身就是运营和系统的主要颠覆者，需要为此进行规划。
**As technology consultancy West Monroe states: “You don’t need bigger plans — you need faster moves.” This is a fitting mantra for IT roadmap development today.**
正如技术咨询公司West Monroe所言：“你不需要更大的计划——你需要更快的行动。”这是当今IT路线图开发的一句恰当箴言。
**CIOs should ask themselves where the most likely business and technology plan disrupters are going to come from. Here are some top candidates:**
CIO们应该问自己，最可能的商业和技术计划颠覆者将来自哪里。以下是一些主要候选因素：
**Organization resilience and risk management: Is the company prepared for the job displacement and role redefinitions that will occur as more automation and AI are implemented? Will employees be adequately trained and equipped with the skills and technologies that will need to be used in a new business environment? What about systems? Which systems are likely to keep pace with the rate of technological change, and which are not? What is Plan B if a system is suddenly rendered obsolete or inoperative?**
组织韧性与风险管理：随着更多自动化和AI的实施，公司是否为职位流失和角色重新定义做好了准备？员工是否会得到充分的培训，并配备在新的商业环境中需要使用的技能和技术？系统呢？哪些系统可能跟上技术变革的步伐，哪些不能？如果一个系统突然过时或无法操作，B计划是什么？
**Security: AI will be used by both good and bad actors, but as bad actors begin to strike organizations with attacks assisted by AI, does internal IT have the right AI tools and skills to fight off these attacks and respond? Or can IT develop a more preemptive approach for detecting, anticipating, and preparing for new AI security threats? Does your security team possess the latest AI security tools and skills to do this work? And from another perspective: Do you have the strategy, skills, and technology to adequately defend your own AI infrastructure as attacks against it arise?**
安全：AI将被好人和坏人同时使用，但随着坏人开始利用AI辅助对组织发起攻击，内部IT是否有合适的AI工具和技能来击退这些攻击并做出响应？或者IT能否开发一种更具先发制人的方法来检测、预测和准备应对新的AI安全威胁？你的安全团队是否拥有最新的AI安全工具和技能来做这项工作？从另一个角度看：当针对你自己的AI基础设施的攻击出现时，你是否有策略、技能和技术来充分防御？
**Supply chains: The geopolitical landscape is changing rapidly. Is the business, including IT, ready to pivot to alternate suppliers and supply chain routes if present suppliers or supply chain routes are adversely impacted? And can systems keep pace with these changes?**
供应链：地缘政治格局正在迅速变化。如果目前的供应商或供应链路线受到不利影响，包括IT在内的业务是否准备好转向替代供应商和供应链路线？系统能否跟上这些变化？
**Failover: Do you have redundant systems in place if a disastrous event occurs in a particular geozone and you need to failover? And if your systems, AI, and automation become totally inoperative, does the company have on staff employees who can revert to manual processes if needed?**
故障转移：如果在特定地理区域发生灾难性事件，你需要进行故障转移，你是否有冗余系统到位？如果你的系统、AI和自动化完全无法操作，公司是否有员工能够在需要时恢复到手动流程？
Developing a resilient IT roadmap
**Understandably, CIOs can only develop future-facing technology roadmaps with what they see at a present point in time. However, they do have the ability to improve the quality of their roadmaps by reviewing and revising these plans more often.**
可以理解，CIO们只能根据他们在当前时间点所看到的来制定面向未来的技术路线图。然而，他们确实有能力通过更频繁地审查和修订这些计划来提高路线图的质量。
**Today, the shortcoming at many companies is that leadership writes strategic plans and roadmaps as an annual exercise only. Given the rate of change of technology, putting away an IT roadmap for 12 months without periodic review and revision to adjust for disruptive change is no longer viable. CIOs should revisit IT roadmaps quarterly at a minimum. If roadmaps must be altered, CIOs should communicate to their CEOs, boards, and C-level peers what’s happening and why. In this way, no one will be surprised when adjustments must be made.**
如今，许多公司的缺点在于领导层仅将撰写战略计划和路线图作为年度练习。考虑到技术变革的速度，将IT路线图搁置12个月而不进行定期审查和修订以适应颠覆性变化已不再可行。CIO们应至少每季度重新审视一次IT路线图。如果必须更改路线图，CIO们应向CEO、董事会和C级同行沟通正在发生的事情及其原因。这样，当必须做出调整时，没人会感到惊讶。
**As CIOs get more engaged with lines of business, they can also show how technology changes are going to affect company operations and finances before these changes happen. They can alert the board and management to new risk factors that are likely to arise from AI and other disruptive technologies — and ensure these disruptions and risks are factored into the corporate risk management plan. In this way, CIOs can maintain alignment of the IT strategic plan and roadmap with the business strategy.**
随着CIO们更多地参与业务线，他们也可以在技术变革发生之前展示这些变化将如何影响公司运营和财务。他们可以提醒董事会和管理层注意可能由AI和其他颠覆性技术产生的新风险因素——并确保这些颠覆和风险被纳入企业风险管理计划中。通过这种方式，CIO们可以保持IT战略计划和路线图与业务战略的一致性。
**Equally important is emphasizing that a seismic change in technology roadmap direction could impact budgets.**
同样重要的是要强调，技术路线图方向的剧烈变化可能会影响预算。
**For instance, if AI-driven security threats begin to impact company AI and general systems, IT will need AI-ready tools and skills to defend and to mitigate these threats. It’s possible that a budget exception or a fund reallocation will need to be made so the right technologies and training can be acquired. Financial issues can also arise on corporate or IT supply chains if a particular supplier is suddenly unavailable and/or alternate supply routes must be found.**
例如，如果AI驱动的安全威胁开始影响公司的AI和通用系统，IT将需要具备AI就绪的工具和技能来防御和缓解这些威胁。可能需要制定预算例外或重新分配资金，以便获得正确的技术和培训。如果某个供应商突然无法提供服务和/或必须寻找替代供应路线，公司或IT供应链上也可能出现财务问题。
**Finally, IT staff training should become a standard element in IT roadmaps — and not just an option. Past IT roadmaps had a tendency to dwell only on technology and system forecasts, often omitting elements like workforce reskilling.**
最后，IT员工培训应成为IT路线图中的标准要素——而不仅仅是一个选项。过去的IT路线图倾向于只关注技术和系统预测，通常忽略了员工技能再培训等要素。
**With rapid technology change, staff reskilling should be a mandatory IT roadmap component because it’s the only way to plan and ensure that IT stays up to the task of working with new technologies. Reskilling should also include cross-training plans for IT staff members so they are able to work in multiple roles if IT needs to rapidly redirect resources.**
随着技术的快速变化，员工技能再培训应成为强制性的IT路线图组成部分，因为这是规划并确保IT能够胜任使用新技术工作的唯一途径。技能再培训还应包括IT员工的交叉培训计划，以便如果IT需要快速重新分配资源，他们能够在多个角色中工作。
Rethink — or regret
**As Benjamin Franklin once said, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”**
正如本杰明·富兰克林曾经说过的，“如果你没有准备，你就是在准备失败。”
**Now is the time for CIOs to transform the IT roadmap into a more malleable and responsive document that can accommodate the disruptive changes in business and technology that companies are likely to experience.**
现在是CIO们将IT路线图转变为一份更具可塑性和响应性文件的时候了，这样才能适应公司可能经历的商业和技术方面的颠覆性变革。
