CIOs are becoming more involved in strategic development

The role of the chief information officer is moving from developing systems to developing strategy, according to a recent survey by RHI Consulting, a division of Robert Half International. When asked to describe the aspect of their job that has changed the most in the last five years, CIOs cited three key areas: increased interaction with other departments (28 percent); more involvement in strategic planning (27 percent); and a greater role in the organization’s bottom-line results (25 percent).
