Career Development

The Council is made up of CIOs at all stages of their careers, from first-timers to veterans and even a few retired sages who continue to keep in touch and share their lifetime of lessons. To serve this diverse group, the Council in collaboration with members have developed programs and events ranging from a CIO Starter Kit to a series of discussions on how veteran CIOs can pass on their wisdom to the next generation and leave a lasting legacy.

The Open University has licensed the CIO Executive Council Pathways competency framework, which allows future CIOs to follow a clearly devised learning plan, from IT staff to Board level. The framework will be mapped to The Open University's extensive online industry curriculum online to provide future Chief Information Officers with the essential skills required to reach Board status.
