To solve mutual challenges, members periodically engage Council resources to tap the collective expertise of the membership to marshal best practices, build field guides, and create cases studies and frameworks such as the Future-State CIO® Journey. These resources are perpetually available from the Council archive, as are recordings of virtually all past Council webcasts. In addition, members often share at our request documents such as social media policies and presentations they use in their own organizations, which the membership may adapt or compare to their own resources.
Most of the archival resources are for members only, but some have been authorized to share with the global CIO community to benefit the profession at large. Browse a sampling below related to our key programs and groups. Click to download the publicly available resources.

Description
“Who is doing what, with whom, for how much and for what result?” That’s the very practical question that the CIO Executive Council’s Peer Intelligence benchmarks are intended to answer. Contained in this report, which is updated quarterly, are the real-world numbers provided by Council members and the vetted IT leaders from the CIO Forum on LinkedIn. The benchmarks cover essentials associated with major IT initiatives: time to implement, total investment, vendors selected and benefits realized.
The Peer Intelligence suite of services is more than a set of quarterly benchmarks. Complementing the numbers are the series of two-page case studies of individual members’ initiatives. These provide the vital context of business goals, vendor considerations, financial and labor investment, risk mitigation, ROI and lessons learned. The Peer Intelligence cases are for members only, from members only—candid, to-the-point and practical.
If you wish to learn more about the Council's services and benefits, and receive a complimentary Peer Intelligence case study, visit us at: http://council.cio.com/peer_intelligence/report.html.
