BizTechReports QampA Phil Weinzimer Explores How CIOs are Changing the Dynamics of the Business Enterprise

Much has been written about the seismic shifts underway in the chief information officer (CIO) role. Only a few years ago the duties of the CIO largely focused on procuring and managing information technology investments.

These days however CIOs are tasked with leveraging technology so effectively that it drives business benefits. As a result organizations need their CIOs to become strategic partners with business units. It is a process that is driving a fundamental transformation into the CIO’s job description.

To discuss the challenges and opportunities facing CIOs today we were fortunate to catch up with Phil Weinzimer president of Strategere Consulting (www.strategere.com). Mr. Weinzimer’s new book: “The Strategic CIO: Changing the Dynamics of the Business Enterprise” focuses on how CIOs strategically transform IT organizations by leveraging information and technology to create new customer value increase corporate revenue and enrich shareholder value.

Mr. Weinzimer interviewed more than 150 CIOs IT leaders business executives and academic thought leaders as part of his research. His previous book: “Getting it Right: Creating Customer Value for Market Leadership” focused on transforming an organization using a 3P strategy: Prepare personnel to work together as a team perceive customer needs and provide new products and services that create sustainable and profitable value.

We caught up with Mr. Weinzimer to discuss his new book and the impact strategic CIOs can have on their organizations.  The link to the interview can be found here:
