Great Leaders Find the Best Technology Solutions

It’s never been more important for organizations to find the best technology solutions to countless challenges. Hospitals and health systems are implementing advanced clinical systems, or are in an active selection process to approve significant, multiple IT investments to qualify for ARRA dollars and avoid serious penalties. At the same time, colleges and universities need robust systems to help them manage their business, administrative and ERP systems, and provide support for faculty and students.

Chief information officers (CIOs), chief medical information officers (CMIOs), assistant vice chancellors and deans of information services and others face high expectations from both internal constituencies and external agencies. They must balance increased budgets, fully-engaged boards, and higher visibility of their roles with specific deadlines and intense pressure. Furthermore, as the scope of their roles takes on new proportions, IT leaders need support for organizational change, as well as their own professional development.
