Colleen M. YoungWe constantly hear that the role of IT is changing and CIO's must change with it. The most common message is that CIO's must act like business leaders, but the shift goes much deeper than that. This session will explore what is really different about the CIO role of tomorrow and how existing or aspiring CIO's can prepare.
Key Issues:
  • How and why does the evolving CIO role differ from historical convention?
  • What impact will evolving business and IT models have on necessary CIO behaviors and skills?
  • What should CIOs do to establish or maintain their personal viability in these new business contexts?
