Executive Summary

Tech debt has soared past $1.5 trillion, challenging companies to pay down their share. The key is distinguishing "good" tech debt, which can wait, from "bad" tech debt, which cannot. CEOs are prioritizing this need even as CIOs already struggle to advance application modernization and innovate at the pace of the business.

“Technical debt sets the speed limit on change,” says Hendy Harianto, Group CIO at Meratus Group, the leading maritime and logistics integrator in Southeast Asia. “Reducing it is one of the highest-yield investments a company can make.”

In this boardroom conversation Hendy Harianto is joined by prolific tech debt author Sanjiv Purba to share new approaches for measuring tech debt, sorting out the “good” from the “bad” and finding the most effective ways to address it.
