According to Maryfran Johnson, editor in chief at CIO magazine, creating a world-class CIO takes a combination of on-the-job experiences, stretch assignments and the occasional failure-and-recovery cycle. On-the-job experiences stretch IT managers' capabilities "into new areas where they are not yet fully developed," says Steve Finnerty, vice president of IT at Applied Materials and a Council member. Over the years, more than a dozen of his direct reports have gone on to become CIOs. "If you're getting a job or an experience and you're ready for it, it's not big enough."
As befits the best C-level executives, Carsten Larsen, executive manager information services, Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is putting some walk to his talk. He is one of 11 Australian-based CIOs who are contributing to the Pathways ICT Leadership Development Program, created by the CIO Executive Council. The 12-month ongoing Pathways program is designed around two distinct areas of professional development: business and leadership -- it does not focus on the technical. It helps participants build the commercial savvy needed to put them at the forefront of ICT and of the business.
Australia based CIO Executive Council general manager, Caroline Bucknell, says Pathways is a unique professional development program because it is designed and delivered by global and local CIOs. It combines best practices, thought leadership and customized mentoring. "Pathways is self-managed and self-paced," says Bucknell. "And it's based on the nine universal core competencies shown to have the greatest impact on an executive's success. "The benefits start with access to the CIO Executive Council's Future-State assessment tool, which allows participants to map their current skills against the core competencies, as identified by more than 25,000 C-level assessments."

Getting what you need to grow, as a CIO! (registration required)
Recorded: Wed., May 19, 2010
Descripton: Every IT leader (or potential leader) has deficits that are the difference between where he or she is now and reaching his or her full potential as a CIO. If you know what your deficits are where do you get help? If you don't know, how do you find out? How do you promote best practices? How do you discover new thinking? Where do you find a sounding board for your ideas? If the practice of leadership is lonely, where would you find camaraderie?
