The leadership between CEO and CIO can be a relationship of great value generation or "pump" for organization. It is critical that both parties there is appropriate communication channels and understanding the scope of each of its parts.
The CEO is a leading business strategy, the CIO is leading strategy operationalization of the business information you need to ensure the achievement of the strategy led by the CEO. Each has its domain of leadership, which the CEO is leveraged in the IOC, why should be consistent in purpose and scope.
IT CAN NOT exist without the business (provides the platform for rapid operation thereof), is absurd find organizations where IT does not reflect the business model level strategy, operations and competitive advantage of it. Therefore there does not provide IT business value, IT not buy and implement a package of SW, or infrastructure without a business reason to support it (What are your business reasons?) . The needs and priorities of each company are unique and specific to your industry, market and business strategy.
The ideal of communication between the parties is the ability to understand the business model and strategy of the same as the CIO may have. Current requirements call for CIOs to have an understanding of strategy business, finance, business model, marketing and personnel management, as the technology clearly reflects both the structure and business model. And the CIO is responsible for providing effective support tool that provides value to the business.
That much is the training and knowledge of the CIO in business aspects? is actually the right side of your organization? or even depends on the administrative area?
think it is key to aligning IT business, which involves:
- That IT services realistically reflect the business model of the firm, in especially those that support the firm's competitive advantage.
- The information flow of business processes operations consistent with it.
- Monetization IT operations, as a generator of business value by accelerating the flow and use of information at the level of business processes. (Gentlemen, you have to measure how bring to business.) Taking
into account the increasing prevalence of IT in business operations, how does this change the CEO's involvement in technology issues? How does this CIO participation in business issues? How is this becoming more blurred this line?
key success factors
- CIO capacity to interpret the needs of the organization as business needs (Do not be so techie)
- Role of the CIO as a key factor the information management and processes within the organization.
more usual of relations between the CEO and CIO:
- LOST IN TRANSLATION : CIO does not speak the language of business, especially aspects that you can find outside their specific domains. Finance, human resource management, marketing and sales, etc. The CIO must evolve to a profile of business and operations, as a result, the priorities of the CIO deviate from business priorities.
- INCENTIVES CROSS: CEO remembers the CIO and his team only when things go wrong. So the IT team tends to be averse risk, the enemy of change and exceedingly jealous of the stability and system redundancy
- Greek tragedy: any request to the IT team is a complex process that ends with "it is very difficult" and "take time" - frustrating business areas
- CONSTANT DENIAL: the CEO refuses to learn the technology and feel unable to understand what happens in the "black box" of IT.
And as your organization?
