Elevator Executive: The Transformational CIO
by Russell Reynolds Associates

Posted on 26 May 2011

The only thing consistent about the chief information officer position seems to be that it’s a role in a constant state of flux and change. The title itself often engenders as much confusion as it does clarity amongst business users and many functional practitioners. What is a CIO? What is a CTO? Is there a difference between the roles and corresponding titles? As a business leader, what should I expect from this key functional partner? As an IT professional, I have aspirations to be a C-level technology leader. What skills and competencies must I develop and acquire to realize this ambition? In this paper, Shawn Banerji and the Information Officers practice at Russell Reynolds Associates tackle these questions and other issues surrounding next generation CIOs.

Hybrid IT service delivery
by HP

Posted on 26 May 2011

With the maturation of the IT industry it becomes realistic to adopt a mixture of modern business models like shared services and value-based pricing. In particular, implementing a combination of various business models takes advantage of a “best-of-breed” implementation strategy. It pays off with double-digit savings. However, the application of mixed business models to structure IT organizations does not come for free. If the various business models are not well understood or if they are implemented in a fragmented way, disastrous misalignments will result with an uncontrollable amount of unproductive discussions in a significant deterioration of IT delivery performance.

Revitalizing IT’s Worth
by Atrion

Posted on 26 April 2011

If you consider IT value only in terms of technical precision, you’re overlooking half your value. Such focus often relegates IT to a mere cost center rather than a critical participant in the organization. By resting on technical prowess, IT stifles the greater mission of helping users drive business and limits its worth to the business. “Always on” e-mail and phone service, even when it serves as the backbone of an organization, is considered a given. Our goal is to better propel the organization towards its goals. We are by our very nature a service organization.
