Supporting Student Notes
• The role of the CIO is evolving fast. Historically the CIO was the
gatekeeper - you had to go through him to sell any IT.
• In today’s world, IT is much easier to understand and procure for
people who have little knowledge of IT, therefore, the CIO is less
of a gatekeeper and more of a broker of services and ‘an
advisor’ to the lines of business.
• Nonetheless, he is still very important to us, especially at an
architecture level, so we need to keep him on-side.
