Being a CIO, I am pulled in a several different directions sometimes at the same time.

As any parent of an autistic child knows, the tendency of our kids to perseverate is a fact of life. Or, at least, it looks like perseveration to us, but it quite possibly could be good old fashioned perseverance. The distinction between “ perseverate &# and “ persevere &# is one that I often wondered about. What I’ve come up with, in a nutshell, is this: perseverate is bad, keeping at something for no real purpose. persevere is good, keeping at something in pursuit of a meanin

'“What does it take to be a CIO?” It’s a question I get asked alot. I could launch into why you don’t even want to know: the responsibilities, the politics, the hours. When you don’t know, it looks easy when someone else is doing it. “Walk a mile in someone’s shoes and you will know how difficult it is.” Not everyone is cut out to be a CIO and someone times you just can’t teach anyone to be one either.

For many IT admins, business as usual is a juggling act. Job schedulers and scripts run on autopilot, applications and operating systems can’t speak the same language, and other tools—like RPA or MFT solutions—operate in isolation. On a good day, everything runs smoothly. But good days are rare; more often than not, something goes wrong and you’re stuck putting out fires.

'Should a company promote someone from within to be CIO? Case 1: Yes – If the company IT structure is such that there are divisional CIOs then it probably makes sense. Divisional CIOs usually have local jurisdiction over their specific budgets and staff. Therefore they have the experience to step up and lead the organization as CIO. Case 2: No – If the company does not have people experienced in people, processes and technology.
