The skills needed for a c-level executive position will change as your business does, as will the best kind of candidate for that role. To find someone who fits into an open position successfully, companies should work with a recruitment consultant as they evolve.
Writing for the Business Standard, DP van Leeuwen of Red Hat Asia Pacific discusses the need for the CIO to collaborate with others within the office. This is different from how a CIO position is typically structured, e.g., with a focus on technology.
Roles that did not depend on data management and technical knowledge in years past are affected by them now, and c-level professionals in fields like marketing and finance need more technical expertise to accomplish their respective tasks.
"Technology is revolutionizing how every facet of business is run, both internally and from a customer-facing point of view," van Leeuwen writes. "CIOs will, therefore, need to ensure they are actively helping other areas of the business use technology in the best possible manner, and the only way to do this will be by collaborating productively with other C-suite executives."
Redefining the role of the CIO is necessary to address changes in the business world, but also within your boardroom. Management recruitment companies help your organization make these changes through careful planning and a detailed step-by-step implementation procedure. Once you have an understanding of your new needs for an incoming CIO, the process of selecting this person and introducing them into the company will flow much more easily.
