Chief Information Officers: Implementing Effective CIO Organizations

Abstract

The rapid pace of technological change and innovation has offered unprecedented opportunities for the government to use information technology to improve operational performance, reduce costs, and enhance service responsiveness to the public. Yet, at the same time, it has raised a range of thorny issues surrounding managing and integrating complex information management (IM) processes; computer hardware and software; telecommunications networks; and, most important, aligning IT with business needs. Consequently, it is increasingly critical that federal agencies have effective leadership and focused management control over the government's $38 billion in annual spending on information management and technology that goes beyond what would be required solely in a technical support function.
