What do Australian CIO’s want? • Executive Council has set up a sub-committee to explore the issue of IT Mentoring and IT Development for “up and coming” CIO’s. • Courses will be customised for CIO Executive Council members • Key attributes need to come from the CIO Executive Council members. • Need to perform a gap analysis to ensure course content addresses the needs as identified by current CIO’s. • Set up focus groups to discuss course content. • Develop the content and get feedback from Executive Council members.
Joint Collaboration Swinburne University and North Eastern University are currently exploring possible partnership arrangements to meet the formal course requirements.
