  33. How do you think the CIO role has changed in the last 3 – 5 years?

  34. Changing Role of a CIO In May for a roundtable discussion at Giga Information Group's IT Forum 2001 in Las Vegas, 7 CIOs discussed, “ Where was the role of the CIO three to five years ago? What's going on now?” Below are some quotes from this conversation: • “Sometimes when you see the qualification demands of the CIO today, you wonder if even God would qualify“ • “Expert technical knowledge is a given, but in addition, now CIOs have to initiate organizational strategy before the CEO or other business leaders come to them.” • “…most of the roles and responsibilities have been focusing more towards a business sense. We're still seeing CIOs that are business people, but they also have a technology background” The CIO, Michael Goldberg -The CIO - Past and Future – May 2001 http://www.cio.com/research/executive/edit/061301_roundtable.html

  35. Changing Role of a CIO(continued) • “Three to five years ago, a CIO was more back office.” • “…they have to be strong leaders who inspire a loyal team of talented players who make their companies run.” • “CIOs have to initiate organizational strategy before the CEO or other business leaders come to them” • “No more order taking” • “I think across the board three or five years ago, most IT organizations and CIOs were expected to deliver the technology that enabled the business to perform the basics of business functions.” • “If you asked what were we doing 10 years ago, we were probably pursuing the business to adopt technology, trying to teach IT. But three to five years ago, I think the business learned that technology was critical if we were going to meet our business objectives, if we were going to really stay in business.” The CIO, Michael Goldberg -The CIO - Past and Future – May 2001 http://www.cio.com/research/executive/edit/061301_roundtable.html
