2. "How to Partner with Your CEO," by Jack Brennan, CIO, Feb. 1, 2002. CIO presents a first-person view into a key relationship inside every corporation - the CIO-CEO relationship. This column, written by the longtime CEO of investment firm Vanguard Group, goes into detail about what makes a good relationship between the business and IT leader in any business.
Some of his tips are organizational, such as his opinion that the CIO should report directly to the CEO, not the CFO. To Brennan, the relationship must be a two-way street: The CEO should be interested in technology and the CIO should be interested in the business. Another point: The CEO must support the CIO visibly -- within senior leadership and across the organization as a whole.
But just as helpful to any CIO are what Brennan calls the three character traits of all successful CIOs: A good CIO must be comfortable with ambiguity; must have a voracious appetite for knowledge about the business; and must inspire the trust of the CEO and other senior members of the CEO's team.
