Overview:
 The CIO manages the association's technology related methodologies and initiatives. Plans for the
organization's technology needs and addresses any tech-related issues. Investigates data and communicates
with the CEO and other official board individuals to ensure everybody stays on the same page. Helps the
organization to push ahead with advances in technology and strategies for handling and managing data. Fills
in as a pioneer and trend-setter for the organization's information technology department.
In many enterprise organizations, the CIO reports to the chief executive officer (CEO) and at some
companies the CIO has a seat on the executive board. CIOs work closely with their IT staff and recent studies
show there is a benefit in strengthening the CIO-CMO (chief marketing officer) relationship. According to
IBM's Global C-suite Study, which was published in 2014, companies at which the CEO, CIO and CMO
work more closely together than with other C-level executives tend to outperform competitors. The CIO also
has a close relationship with the chief financial officer (CFO)

The role of the CIO has changed dramatically in the last decade.

Technology now forms the backbone of most businesses and is a major enabler of change, innovation
and a driver for sustainable competitive advantage. Therefore, it’s no surprise to discover that IT has
become a key component of organisational planning and strategy. As such, today’s CIOs need well
developed business and leadership skills, in addition to their more traditional technical abilities, in order
to operate successfully at this level.
What really matters for the new generation of CIOs is delivering value to the business, whether
this comes from the way in which they support the day-to-day operations, ensuring that business and
IT strategies are aligned or by helping to deliver IT enabled business change.
