Changing Role of the Chief Information Officer
With the advent of the twenty first century all business programs, stratagems, and systems are continually being bombarded with IT systems that demand content knowledge, organizational effectiveness, and *** on the part of the chief informational officer of a company. No longer can the CIO simply be a technology mechanic but one who is a creative and entrepreneurial leader as well. Over the past ten years the growth in informational technology, and the application thereof, has presented the user with challenges never before seen. In today's high technology environment the CIO leaders be able to align their IT components and organizations with corporate wide business goals. Ten years ago companies were looking for CIO's who were IT pundits; however, that is not the case today. Companies are now seeking CIO's who are business savvy and communicators as well as relationship builders. Today's successful CIO must be able to effectively align current technology with the goals of the company's business. Today, corporations are more interested in hiring a competent CIO who can effectively connect with various heads of departments and be able to think ahead in terms of the IT infrastructure and fiscal management programming -- even two and three years down the line.
Unlike a decade ago the CIO can no longer remain an experienced IT technician. Today's CIO must not only possess a through understanding of IT usefulness but thoroughly understand and appreciate the impact that technology has on driving business and revenue growth. The successful CIO in any corporation will have the unique ability, and supportive personality, to align technology and business and, in the end, marry both segments. In the end, the new CIO must be vertically challenged and have flexible priorities to meet the needs that companies are facing with respect to globalization, cultural diversity, and outsourcing. Today technology is in the driver's seat (Uittenbogaard, de Jong & van der Zee, 2001).

When networks are enabled and flourish, their value to all users and to the organization increases as well.
