Current Issues Facing CIOs
The Issues:
Security
New Technology
New Roles
Cost of Outsourcing
17
IT SECURITY
Challenge because their non-IT colleagues do not share their sense of urgency 10 point scale – average of 8 on importance of security Large companies devote larger portions of budget to security Companies rating security as a 9 or 10 will spend an average of $425,000 on
security Companies rating security as an 8 or lower only spend $210,000 Security conscious CIOs are more likely to:
– Meet with Senior execs to discuss security issues– Have a dedicated security officer– Perform a formal assessment of security risk– Perform simulated security breaches– Force end users to change passwords more frequently– Consult with vendors regarding their own security precautions

New Technology
Technology is beginning to play an integral role in every product or service generated by an enterprise
CIOs must lead the hunt for these new technologies CIOs can’t stand back anymore CEOs will be relying on CIOs to be fully “cognizant” of
the new technologies and the opportunities they present“CIOs Need to Get with the (Future) Program” Glover Ferguson, CIO Magazine, 2000
For years, senior management viewed IT as a necessary expense, and not as a strategic group-- Mike Hickey, First Bank
19
New Roles
Outsourcing vendors, application service providers, electronic markets are taking over many IT tasks
CIOs are becoming more than just IT department leaders – they are to be the leaders in smoothly incorporating the new functions of IT and the outsourcing parties
CIO must be able to influence and inspire internal and external units to work together toward a common goal in an organized fashion
“You have to build a strong team around you that is technical and can keep up on it all”Rich Malone
20
New Roles
Three steps for a CIO to be leader in transforming the IT organization
– 1. Determine how information is processed and managed– 2. Work with a cross section of business and IT
representatives to develop a vision for a new IT department
– 3. Create an IT “constitution” that defines each groups purpose, role, and relationship with other groups
“The CIO has a new role for a new era”. William M. Ulrich, Computerworld 2000

Cost of Outsourcing
Application maintenance: $250,000 to $1 million for a 3 to 5 year contract
Hardware Support: $2,000 to $1 million annually Call Center: $100,000 to $2 million annually Web Site Hosting: $20 to $100,000 monthly Custom Development: $2,000 to $100 million,

CIO Turnover
Due to rapid CIO turnover, it has given rise to the acronym of CIO standing for “Career Is Over”.1
Turnover Statistics: 48% of CIOs surveyed changed jobs in last 2 years. 2
41% of women surveyed changed jobs in the past 2 years 2
32% of men changed jobs in the past 2 years 2
The average tenure tends to be three or four years.1
CEOs are also having high turnover. In November 2000, 111 CEOs left their companies, which is 59% more than
in November 1999. 1

CIO Turnover
Turnover Reasons:
CIOs are responsible for everything from e-commerce projects to supply-chain applications and face pressure from executives to justify IT spending. “Labor shortage and resulting lure of job offers contribute.” 2
The internet appears to be shortening that span. Internet technology changes faster than any technology before it, making it difficult for CIOs to keep up, and introducing completely new business challenges. 1
Additionally, top IT management is turning over faster than ever, because companies are turning over faster than ever. Successful transformations still have strategic and cultural changes, often the result of changes in leadership 1

CIO Turnover
Interim CIOs
High CIO turnover rates commonly result in a company suddenly being without a CIO. In the current tight labor market, it can potentially takes years to find the right replacement. In the interim, companies are turning to a new kind of top IT executive -- the interim CIO. 3
The organizations that bring in interim CIOs get top-notch IT professionals for months/years. For the interim CIO, they can achieve flexibility and diversity of consulting work, in addition to the rewards that result with close involvement in an organization during a longer period of time. 3

CIO Turnover
Strategies for Retaining CIOs:
CIO as a member of the Management Committee.
Organizations must begin to view their IT department as a contributor to business performance.
Shift from “techie” executive to a versatile, senior member of management
Education programs and professional growth opportunities
