Image
In one corner we have Internet Explorer 7 . After 18 months of development and a shiny new set of tabs, he's in top shape and looking better than his predecessor ever did.

Technology itself develops at a searing pace leaving slowmovers cliaging to the coattails of pioneers and groundbreakers. As such CIOs must be constantly re-evaluating their priorities and objectives to ensure they are delivering the maximum value that technology can deliver to the business? So what does it take to be a successful CIO today?
