CEO/CIO Forums
New to CSIA members is the CEO/CIO Forums, alternating monthly meetings for c-levels to share and discuss current concerns, industry trends and surfacing issues in a peer-to-peer environment. To augment the physical meetings between these c-level participants, we have created both a CEO and a CIO forum online. These forums allow c-levels to continue their conversations in the form of topic threads and postings.
The CEO/CIO Online Forums provide occasion to share challenges and opportunities in a confidential setting. C-levels can share and collaborate on important insights with their colleagues.
Possible discussion topics include…
- Sarbanes-Oxley
- Green IT
- eDiscovery
- Strategy and growth – getting to the next level
- Financial matters –financing, investment capital
- Alliances and partnerships
- Exit strategies and succession planning, to name a few
What are the benefits of the CSIA CEO/CIO Online Forums?
- Better and faster decisions – With input and prodding from other C-levels, you have assumptions challenged and a wide breadth of experiences to draw upon.
- Understanding – Participants are eye-to-eye with each other. Your peers understand your situation because they have been there before.
- Accountability – Having been there before, your peers know what it takes to move forward. They will hold you accountable for following through on the steps you choose to take on your path to success.
- Growth – You get ideas, insights, energy and encouragement, all geared to helping you grow.
The CSIA CEO/CIO Online Forums work best when participants are willing to share their experiences, backgrounds and knowledge, adding to the richness and value of the forum as a whole. You benefit and everyone else benefits.
If you are either a CEO or a CIO, a CSIA member, and are interested in participating in the CEO/CIO Forum meetings, contact Nikki Mill, Membership Coordinator, for more information.
