Abstrak

Businesses, and CIOs (Chief Information Officer) in particular, have entered a new phase. CIOs now go to work every day with the charter to consolidate and rationalize the IT explosion of the 1990s, optimizing systems to wring the highest possible returns from the company's technology investments. Today's CIO must bring a mixture of technical competence, business savvy and leadership skills to the table. A thorough grounding in information technology is prerequisite for the CIO job. The CIO should be able to make the business case to the technical people and the technical case to the business people. There are a variety of professional experiences and competencies that can spell success in the CIO position. The CIO has become a major player on the CEOs leadership team, with ample opportunities to shape strategy, set corporate direction and lead change. The CIO of the future will play an ever increasing role in managing information technology to drive decision making, providing faster, better and smarter tools for running a global company.
