Contrary to some views I believe the CIO role is strengthening,
But......the role is changing/has changed,
the expectation of what CIO’s should contribute,
the skills, capabilities required,
the approach CIO’s adopt towards business issues.

I want to look at 3 dimensions of today’s CIO role“Deliver the IT” “Think Business In” “Create Business Transformation”
“The business transforming CIO role: what is required of a today’s CIO”
It’s my opinion:
“though it’s where it all starts, the CIO role is about more than just running IT”.
“equipped with the right capabilities and track record the opportunities are there to take on business transformation programmes and step in to wider business roles”.
