The first and foremost thing one needs to ask is what is required for fulfilling the role of the CIO for India? There is a center and there is a state and there are municipal corporations. What is the role of a CIO given the kind of organization structure for the country? What should be at the center of his work and what does he have to facilitate at the state level?
Recently I was on the CIO Talk Radio and we were discussing on the emerging and changing role of the Head of IT function and I was pleasantly surprised with the co-speaker introducing himself as the Head of CPO (Chief Process Officer). During the course of the interview, he explained that he preferred the title of the CPO v/s. CIO as it describes the real role that he is playing.
