‘CIOs play a niche role in Board meetings today unlike yesteryears’ 

Commitment as a Tech Head
It’s true that the IT Head is the most-influential Executive nowadays, as not only he sits in the Board meetings, but he has the chance as well as the authority to mould the data pattern and present the graphics as deem fit for his perseverance. This, obviously, will guide the Board of Directors to think in the way the IT head had moulded the data. 

Experience Cell
It is true that keeping the industry’s skills honed is among the top challenges of any IT Executive. He has to ensure that the people understand the newer technology that the industry is going to adopt. In fact, he has to move a step ahead and keep penetrating in the skill mounts to ensure that his company people are ready with the new technology and its uses even before his firm chooses to finally use it. Changing or adopting a new technology involves a bit amount of money, and it may prove a bane or a disaster depending on how you kept your people ready to use and maintain it. 

Key Priorities
CIOs definitely play a niche role in Board meetings nowadays. The IT, ITeS and IT-NW skills are most sought after nowadays, not only to bring down the costs, but also to ensure the quality in production, and to guide the decision-makers to move ahead on the path well supported by the records, documentation, precision-analysis and near-perfect future predictions. CIOs are not an invited member in today’s board meetings; rather they are an ESSENTIAL part of it. I would always refer that I was always told to attend the PHODs meeting in SEC Railways BOD (GM’s Review meeting, as it was called), and my views were often asked by the Chairman. 

Adaptability to Organizational Changes
To be successful and dependable, the CIO has to be always ready with options. The irony is the best options for the Company need not always be the best Technical Answers. That is where the flexibility of the CIO comes into the picture. He has to be ready with multiple objectives, all analyzed to be presented to BID, so that they may choose the BEST. 

 

To be an all-out winner, we need to allocate proper share of budget to IT and ITeS. Combined budget for IT, ITeS and ITNW will be substantial for our Corporation, after we have completed the construction works of new Rail-links in Chhattisgarh.
