"In the past, CIO help-wanted ads were simple. Organizations sought executives with enough
technology savvy to oversee IT investments and enough managerial ability to run the ITO," states
the article. The article goes on to add, however, that "Today leading CIOs must have the business
acumen to manage the ITO as a separate and distinct division, while being creative enough to view
IT as a transformational tool rather than a support function. In addition, CIOs must possess the
communication skills necessary to translate IT investments, first into business concepts, and
then into ROI. They must be skilled communicators, able to challenge disparate taxonomies by
creating a common language for all audiences. Finally, they must be exceptional navigators --
capable of using the ITO to drive the enterprise forward externally, while concurrently elevating
the role of the ITO internally."
