The Role of the Chief Information Officer
The term CIO, or Chief Information Officer, is used in technology-dependant organisations for the executive who is accountable for the management and delivery of business systems, technology and information. It is often seen as a hybrid role, combined with areas of responsibility such as business process and change management.
It is the CIO's job to innovate, collaborate, balance the IT budget and motivate IT staff. The position differs from an IT Director or traditional IT Manager because it carries board-level accountability, often accompanied with a wide influence over internal issues.
With this in mind, the ‘Role of the Chief Information Officer’ course is designed to equip you with the tools and knowledge to perform this important new role. Through attendance, you will learn how to engage with the wider corporate aims of the organisation, ensuring that strategies are aligned to the new technological opportunities and realities of modern company IT practice.

About the Programme
Historically, IT departments have provided company staff with the technology they required. People now use more sophisticated technology in their private lives than the office and they’re demanding to use the same equipment at work.
In the face of this rapid change, IT departments are changing from being providers to brokers of services, as individual company departments make their own policies on important matters such as energy provision and cloud computing.
Business leaders and CIOs need help to cope with these rapid changes. The CIO needs to regain the trust of the business to apply effective governance of IT and environmental policies. There is an urgent need for education and mentoring for CIOs if this is going to happen.
*Please note that some of the materials and objectives may be subject to change depending on discussions, activities and needs of the cohort upon reflection of delegate responses to the pre-programme questionnaires.*
