While these attributes continue to be important, in our current climate of risk, innovation and IT opportunity, they are just a drop in the bucket. The modern IT executive must be capable of so much more.

Drawing on personal interviews with hundreds of successful CIOs, Heller offers case studies, anecdotes, advice and impressions to arm attendees with the skills they need to lead their companies into the future.
