Wouldn't any competent CIO of a company or government office big enough to need a CIO do the same? Which roadmapped strategic projects are going to get chopped

Wouldn't any competent CIO of a company or government office big enough to need a CIO do the same? Which roadmapped strategic projects are going to get chopped so that this new project can start immediately?
- nexuist 5y agoWhat's the point of all the roadmapped projects if all of them will have 1hr+ startup times? Is the enemy going to wait for squadron commanders to log into Outlook before firing artillery? All of the strategic projects should get chopped until this one is addressed. What is the point of managing IT infrastructure if none of it works.
- stadium 5y agoI'm not so familiar with the military but wouldn't it be up to brass like generals or strategic command to decide if the IT infra upgrades are a threat to combat readiness, and prioritize it accordingly? They can give the CIO budget to do this, but the CIO can't unilaterally decide to do it.
- nexuist 5y agoIt is up to them, but it's the CIO's job to advocate for his employees and convince them to do it. You hire a CIO to be able to advise you on decisions such as this. The CIO isn't expected to be down in the trenches resetting Active Directory accounts or applying group policies, of course.
