Business Must Be a CIO's No. 1 Priority

摘要

Cios must demonstrate a strong command of business requirements and the ability to effectively communicate the business benefits of IT projects, and they must deliver projects as promised to gain the trust and respect of senior management, declared IT executives attending a CIO conference here last week. By meeting these criteria, effective CIOs are keeping their jobs for longer periods of time at some companies. "CIOs are sustaining [their tenure] longer than in the past since they have become more business-focused," said Mark Popolano, vice president and CIO at American International Group Inc. in New York. Popolano, AIG's CIO for the past seven years, was a speaker at the Forbes CIO Forum.
