The lead IS Manager role has changed over the last forty years from a technician managing a service function to a CIO executive with the potential to have a substantial strategic impact on the organization. However, unlike many of the other C-Level executives, the CIO manages a very technical staff, and there is still a controversy as to whether the CIO is half technician and half manager/strategist, or if the CIO has shed the technology role to be mostly manager/strategist. What is the skill set needed for the CIO role? Are these skills obtained through work experience prior to becoming CIO? Are these skills obtained through formal academic training? Are these skills obtained through CIO work experience? Through CIO responses to a survey we found that the highest rated CIO skills focus on strategic management, leadership, and communication. We also found that work experience both prior to and after becoming CIO is the most important source of CIO skills rather than formal education. Future research should examine improvements in the design of educational programs to support the career paths of those who wish to become CIOs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
