Course Description
In this lesson, ExecSense and CTM of Columbia University examine how the role of CIO is changing and how you as a senior technology executive can establish a seat at the table in the C-Suite. Learn to use strategic advocacy to augment your technical expertise, establish departmental and personal benchmarks, and align your IT strategies with the business interests of your company.
This lesson is led by an expert on the topic, Dr. Art Langer (Director for the Center of Technology Management of Columbia University), and focuses on the common personal attributes of successful CIO and their organizational philosophies, as well as the growing importance of IT in corporate strategy.
In this 30-minute session, you will learn:
- A comprehensive list of the most important personal attributes of a successful CIO
- How to master strategic advocacy to make the case for technology investment, IT integration, and a cutting-edge development agenda
- What “keeping a pulse on costs” truly means and why developing an understanding of logistics and ROI will help you drive profitability and earn a spot at the executive table
- Why big data and predictive analytics are fundamental tools for CIOs, and how to put yourself at the center of the data conversation at your company
- Specific case studies of successful CIOs who willingly took on less traditional responsibilities, learned their business inside and out, and found success at the executive level as a result
