CIO’s Must Be Business Leaders, Not Technologists

Update: 2010-04-25

Description

John Hughes Photo John Hughes, founder and principal of Growthwave, a management consulting firm providing interim-CIO (chief Information Officer) services, CIO coaching, and CEO advisory services, says CIOs must be business leaders rather than technologists. Often CIO’s become occupied with managing technology staff and implementations and they lose sight of goals of the business. For CIOs and their companies to be successful, says John, CIOs must leave the management of the IT function to someone else, so they can focus on strategies to grow the business and create competitive advantage.
