I'm a bit remiss in pointing out that one of my favorite annual articles by the fine folks over at Cornerstone Advisors ran in late June on the irreverent, but always insightful, GonzoBanker. (The illustration on this post--taken right from the article--should give you an idea of the fun the GonzoBankers have even while addressing serious topics!)
"2009 CIO Curriculum" talks about one of my favorite things: what CU executives (in this case information technology executives) might want to be learning. Specifically, author Quintin S. Sykes names five main areas of recommended study for CIOs this year--communication, information management, imaging/workflow, payments, and software as a service/cloud computing--as well as where CIOs might look for such training. Do these suggestions match your plans?
If you're a CUES or CUES Supplier member and want to check out what's changed since last year's recommendations, log in to "Survival Skills for CIOs 2008 and Beyond" on CUES Tech Port, the e-newsletter published by CUES and Cornerstone (that I edit). For password assistance, please e-mail cues@cues.org.
Full disclosure: You can also find out about Cornerstone's business and technology services via the CUES Web site.
