Robin Bloor writes about Educating the CEO in the ways of IT. Great idea.
She then points out a major problem with implementing that concept:
An executive of an organisation I know that specialises in educating CEOs in a variety of areas, including IT, told us that he had once suggested organising IT brainstorming sessions where the CEOs could bring their CIOs along with them. However, every CEO to whom he suggested this rejected the idea immediately. None of them wished to expose their IT ignorance to their own CIO, especially not among a group of other CEOs and CIOs.
That’s not so bad, at least they are aware of their failings. First step in correcting them and all that.
When they don’t understand IT and don’t know that they don’t…that is where you run into serious problems.
