Elevator Executive: The Transformational CIO

sorter:

The only thing consistent about the chief information officer position seems to be that it’s a role in a constant state of flux and change. The title itself often engenders as much confusion as it does clarity amongst business users and many functional practitioners. What is a CIO? What is a CTO? Is there a difference between the roles and corresponding titles? As a business leader, what should I expect from this key functional partner? As an IT professional, I have aspirations to be a C-level technology leader. What skills and competencies must I develop and acquire to realize this ambition? In this paper, Shawn Banerji and the Information Officers practice at Russell Reynolds Associates tackle these questions and other issues surrounding next generation CIOs.

Think of it as E-Commerce 3.0. If the first stage of e-commerce was most memorably signaled when Amazon.com opened for business just 16 years ago and the second stage was the subsequent proliferation of all manner of web stores, today another fundamental shift is under way that is transforming the business landscape. In this paper, Margot McShane and the e-commerce team at Russell Reynolds Associates examine the converging trends that are creating a strong demand for experienced e-commerce retailers, and outline seven critical questions that CEOs, boards and human capital leaders need to address as they begin their search for an e-commerce head. Many of the areas for discussion here are also relevant for organizations in other sectors that need to re-examine or develop their digital content and distribution channels. Future discussions will examine specific issues around e-commerce leadership in financial services, technology, healthcare, government and nonprofit.
