The CIO Job Profile and Performance Model

About this book

Higher education's survival now runs through a role most institutions still misunderstand: the CIO. The CIO Job Profile and Performance Model reframes that role around resilience and antifragility - mapping four levels of CIO maturity and sixteen competencies, then turning them into practical tools for defining, hiring, developing, and assessing technology leaders. Presidents and cabinets use it to diagnose readiness and write the right job description; search committees, to interview and select with clarity; sitting CIOs, to assess and grow their own practice; aspiring leaders, to chart a path to the cabinet table; mentors and boards, to build succession. Whether you are hiring a CIO, becoming one, or evaluating one, this is the map for developing the higher education CIO role and assessing performance at your institution.
