First sentence: Before I jump into a discussion on why technology skills matter for technology executives today, I thought that it would be helpful to first clarify the difference between a chief information officer (CIO) and a chief technology officer (CTO) and provide a summary of both the recent evolution of the CIO role and the current state of the CIO profession.
Description: "Preparing for the role of chief information officer (CIO) takes careful planning, strategy, and knowledge: What does a CEO look for in a CIO? What is the difference between a CIO and a CTO? How do you learn the business and build key relationships? Straight to the Top: Becoming a World-Class CIO is an essential guide to help information technology (IT) and business professionals recognize the qualities necessary to attain the role of first-time CIO and strategically plan their career moves. This vital road map for success offers a rare view, from the executive recruiter's perspective, of the traits top search firms are looking for in CIO candidates."--Jacket.
