The Accidental Successful CIO

'Image Credit The Tokyo Stock Exchange needs its computers to stay up…. If I asked you what a CIO’s #1 job responsibility was , what would you say? After a lot of hemming and hawing, I think that you’d probably end up telling me that at the end of the day, a CIO has the ultimate responsibility for making sure that the company’s IT resources are available for the rest of the company to use at all times – that’s almost a part of the definition of information technology.
