CIOs get business savvy

摘要

CIOs can no longer hide out in the IT shop, keeping a low profile. As business, compliance and governance requirements evolve, a CIO needs to be a great communicator, understand the politics of the boardroom and anticipate organizational challenges ? and that's a level of sophistication they won't get if they remain cloistered. CIOs are now considered part of the executive management team, essential to developing business strategy. Being a techie isn't enough anymore. Business, marketing and networking skills are essential to the new leadership role required of a CIO.
