168: Become a Superhero to your CIO: A Day in the Life of a CIO

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

In today's hyper-competitive world, we're all striving to be the best employees we can be. We want to impress our boss, finish that big project on time and under budget, and earn that big promotion with a hefty raise. If you work in IT, it's very likely you report - directly or indirectly - to your company's CIO, or perhaps CTO. How can we best enhance and leverage that relationship to support your company's IT initiatives, and advance your career?

The first step is to understand your CIO's role. The role of the CIO or CTO may seem mysterious and overwhelming at first, but it's critical for all IT employees to understand the big picture in order to better support your boss, and become a superhero to your CIO!

Learning Objectives:
We'll cover:
- What is your CIO responsible for? We'll discuss the practical elements as well as the strategic decisions of the job
- What does a day in the life of your CIO look like?
- What are the differences between a CIO and CTO?
- Who does your CIO communicate with? Who is he or she responsible to, and for what?
- What pressures does your CIO deal with every day, and from whom?
