Evolutionary Divergence:The Rise of the Business Strategists• “It’s anathema to me that a CIO can live a long and
happy life as an operationally focused CIO. Titles should mean something.” – Bob Badavas, President & CEO, TAC Worldwide
• “I think the CIO role will be offered less and less to those coming purely up an IS track. A lot of industries are evolving to the point where they will want a CIO to be half IS and half business.” – George Chappelle, former CIO, now Chief Supply Chain Officer, Sara Lee Corp.
• “If CIOs are only looking out for IT, and not doing their jobs at the strategic level, that path leads to outsourcing and irrelevancy.” – Gerry McCartney, CIO, Purdue University.
