In an effort to share insights and advice coming out of the great  conversations CIOs are having as a community, the Center launched a new and exciting six-part video series, CIO Perspectives.  This series brings together leading CIOs as they discuss topics, exchange ideas and compare experiences on important topics for CIOs to enhance their impact as business leaders.

 

Listen to Harvey Koeppel, Executive Director of the Center for CIO Leadership as he leads a discussion focusing CIO challenges on the horizon with Center CIO Members, Jeanette Horan, CIO, IBM, Peter Whatnell, CIO, Sunoco, Inc., and Ron Bergmann, Vice President and CIO, Lehman College/CUNY.

The Center launched a special blog series on CIOs’ predictions for 2012 to hear from members on  top-of-mind issues and expectations for 2012. We have invited a few Center CIOs and industry experts to weigh in on three questions regarding what 2012 will bring for CIOs. These are the three questions each Center member responded to:

 

  1. What are your top 3 CIO priorities for 2012?
  2. How will 2012 be different from 2011 for you as a CIO?
  3. What organizational or industry shifts are you expecting in 2012?

 

Some took a more direct approach, answering the questions as written and others took a more indirect approach to answering these questions in their blog post. In both cases, the Center members took the time to develop unique and interesting 2012 predictions that will be valuable to your own preparations for next year:

 

  • Carlos Francavilla, Director, BIT Company, Argentina, argues that the convergence of the Internet, Web 2.0, and mobile technologies have created a disruptive shift in business for 2012.
  • Arun Gupta, Customer Care Associate & Group Chief Technology Officer, Shoppers Stop Limited, India, offers 11 predictions for 2012 and beyond.
  • Paul Ingevaldson, Former Sr. V.P. International and Technology, Ace Hardware Corp. (Retired), U.S.A, believes that three world events will have more effect on the IT department’s priorities in 2012 than any time in recent history.
  • Javed Mushtaq, CIO, Pakistan Telecommunication Cooperation Limited, lists cost rationalization, it commercial lab - cloud computing and security / business continuity as his top three priorities.
  • Vinod Sivarama Krishnan, CIO Global, Jubilant Life Sciences Limited, India. suggests that 2012 will be different from 2011 because it will bring broadening and deepening of the standard platforms put in place for the group, and it will bring increasing uncertainly from the business and increasing demands on IT.
