To be CIO Checklist [Part 2]

Lets review the resons why CIO's are hired -

1. Leadership
2. Business Skills
3. Execution Ability
4. Impact on board

CIOs are expected to bring in strong leadership skills and the ability to think and execute in the best interest of the organization. Their knowldege of the business domain and skills make them an important asset to the Company Board.

Having said that, it goes without saving - until CIO exhibits the three sailent features (Leadership, Business skill, execute) and make a impression on the board, they aren't being effective.

Take stock of priorities and eliminate the unnecessary. Don't feel into something with little payoff.
