Louie Ehrlich

摘要

Last year, you became CIO at Chevron and president of its Information Technology unit. How did you handle the transition?rnI spent a lot of time listening. Chevron has a management committee of the top 60 executives. I literally went out and spoke to the 60 and I asked them three basic questions: What was important to you in your business, what's working well with IT at Chevron and what's not? I could assume I knew a lot about the business, being here for 28 years, but getting a fresh perspective from that many people across the full breadth of the business was enlightening.rnI also have been doing town halls with employees. I do something called "Lunch With Louie." I get a cross-section of about 10 to 12 employees every two weeks, [and] I ask similar questions: "What's working? What's not? Coach me as I come into this job."
