Bridging the CEO expectation gap
A close relationship with the chief executive officer requires peer-level endorsement
Meeting expectations, particularly those of the chief executive officer (CEO), remains one of the persistent challenges facing many of our CIO clients.
They frequently express these types of concerns:

“The business has just made another investment decision without any previous input from IT, and now we have to deliver a system to support the new investment.”
More often than not, they are followed by the question: “What should I do to stop this from happening?”
