RHR International was pleased to partner with the Center for CIO Leadership to conduct an important research effort into how CIOs can more effectively communicate the value of technology to the rest of the C-Suite. For the research, the team reached out to CEOs, COOs, CFOs and others in the C-Suite to hear their perspectives on the skills and competencies required from their CIOs to drive business growth and value from technology, and how the C-Suite thinks about the CIO's role and contribution to the business value equation. The lessons learned from the research provide a useful perspective for anyone leading an organization today in how to partner with the CIO to understand the key to communicating value and securing a seat at the executive table.
The Center is a not-for-profit global community founded in 2007 to advance the CIO profession. It is a membership-based peer network of more than 1,600 CIOs worldwide, and its mission is to provide global thought leadership to drive research, education, and outreach. The Center sponsors educational programs in collaboration with academic and learning partners, develops practical insights through research, promotes peer-to-peer mentoring, and fosters a greater understanding of the business value of IT among executive leaders and industry influencers.
