A CIO is Not Just an IT Director with a Big Budget
The Govern recommended that agencies address Chief Information Officer [CIO] turnover by implementing human capital flexibilities, such as recruiting bonuses, retention allowances and skill-based pay.
You need more frequent communication between Chief Information Officer [CIO] and CFO - and other executives - on business/services/manufacturing-operations performance and Chief Information Officer [CIO] requirements.
Information Technology [IT] and finance see the whole picture.
The bottom line is, we’re in business/services/manufacturing to make money.
This is a far cry from the desperate silos of under utilized server, storage, network and application resource that plague organizations today, creating hideous complexity and draining already strained budgets.
Surely IT represents the pill that will cure the CIO's headache? An example is an enterprise program-management office that coordinates individual projects and holistic programs across the enterprise.
Another discipline is portfolio management - a way to look across IT investments and balance them across business/services/manufacturing needs, in both the short and long terms.
Virtualized: Computing resources are pooled and tailored for simpler management and better utilization.
Instead of having to purchase additional hardware to cater for peaks in demand, under-utilized resource from elsewhere within the business/services/manufacturing is harnessed.
IT also means better support for the business/services/manufacturing processes that depend on computing.
Many organizations are embarking on a strategies that leverage globalization trends.
The Chief Information Officer [CIO] is one of the few places in the organization where all of those things come together and where there is a view across the enterprise.
These trends drive transformations that are enterprise wide and hugely dependent on technology for their success.
The Chief Information Officer [CIO] is at the eye of the storm.
Are you a Chief Information Officer or an Information Technology [IT] director? The terms themselves are academic, but the roles are fundamentally different.
A Chief Information Officer [CIO] is not just an Information Technology [IT] director with a bigger budget.
They spend their time completely differently.
You be necessary believes that the Information Technology [IT] staff need to focus on the value of what they are doing to the business/services/manufacturing, rather than seeing their work in isolation.
