Of all the roles on the board yours is arguably the most important in driving agility. As a technologist at heart you will understand exactly what technology can, and more importantly can't do to help drive project success. You will also have a good feel for what skills and experience your business and technical teams do and don't have.

If you would like to share ideas with a group of fellow CIOs please feel free to contact us. We are forming the agile CIO network for exactly this purpose. The network is invitation only, but free to join for any active CIO, CTO or equivalent with a passion for business agility. Experience of agile techniques is welcomed, but not essential.
