I'm back in Chicago and I'm looking for the next step in my career that will help me continue along the path toward a CIO role. I've been thinking about what it is that constitutes the set of skills and experiences that a CIO should have? Is there a "standard" set in any case?
Over the next several posts, I'll go a bit further to demonstrate that a CIO should have expertise in: Technical Operations, Business Analysis, Application Development, Application Deployment, Business Strategy, Technology strategy and Finance. A CIO should also possess soft skills that are often defined as leadership abilities: Mentoring, Motivation, Salesmanship, Effective Communication, Self Confidence and Negotiation.
So, let's start with the most obvious: Technical Operations.
