Does your organization employ a Chief Information Officer (CIO)?  The CIO is the individual that is ultimately responsible for the technology infrastructure in an organization.  The CIO, however, is not a technician, and he delegates technical tasks to the network administrator or a third party technology provider. 

The CIO is a leader.  He is responsible for ensuring that the organization will achieve its strategic goals through the proper use of technology.

The position of CIO has become a fixture in most large organizations in the last decade, but many smaller organizations do not have the resources to employ a full time CIO. Often this role is unfilled, its duties aren’t properly performed, and the organization's performance may suffer. 

Most large organizations have a CPA or other trained professional who serves as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO).  Most small organizations do not have a full time CFO, yet those duties are not neglected.  These organizations usually hire a CPA firm to fill the role of CFO.  Similarly, small organizations can hire a technology management firm to fill the role of CIO. 

Many IT providers focus on the technical aspects of technology.  Their consultants have strong technical skills but may lack the leadership and management skills needed to understand business strategies. As a result, they may be unable to properly implement the techniques necessary to support the organization's business strategies through technology.
