Planning the CIO Succession
Even if the current CIO leaves the company, business must continue. Responsible IT managers take care at an early stage to introduce potential CIO successors from their own ranks to the new role step by step. They must have the necessary technical and management skills to be able to continue to run the company adequately even if the CIO leaves.
It is also advisable to team up with the HR department to develop talent and support with leadership training. CIOs need to know what leadership, business and technical skills are required to achieve the strategic goals or to know what roles are needed to grow or sustain the digital business.
Furthermore, there is also a need for methods to assess the potential of potential successors and their readiness.
