Future State CIO - What Business Strategists Do
Moderated by Gary Beach (pictured LEFT)
Publisher Emeritus, CIO Magazine
With featured panelists:
Steve Finnerty, Vice President, IT Strategy & Planning, Applied Materials
Ahmed Mahmoud, CIO, AMD
Brian Rawson, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), State of Texas & Executive Director, DIR, State of Texas
Many of today's CIOs are as much business strategists and transformation agents as they are IT function heads (focused mainly on running the IT operation). But even now CEOs and the nature of competitiveness are putting more demands on the position to shift its focus to driving business strategy and differentiation. The CIO Executive Council believes this to be the primary responsibility for tomorrow's CIOs.
But what makes a business strategist CIO?
The results of CIO magazine's 2008 State of the CIO survey provide practical answers to that question, defining how strategist CIOs spend their time, with whom they spend it, and the unique value they bring to their enterprise. Find out what distinguishes business strategist CIOs and why they earn nearly 44 percent more than their function-focused peers.
