The CIO of The Year Award
Winners for life
The CIO of the Year Award aims to give recognition to the best-performing CIO of the year. The measured aspects entail IT performance, IT agility, and project performance/attractiveness. But not only the performance is essential. Like last year, the election will focus on leadership business and boardroom credibility.
