As CIO you need to be seen to be competent, adding value and contributing to the organization’s success.

But are you allowed to?

Your success is often as much determined by your organization as by your own efforts and skills.

You need to understand how the business sees you and your role to understand where and how you can be seen as valued member of the management team. This is all explained in The IT Value Pyramid. This book gives you the six dimensions of your role (as seen by the business) and the relative value ascribed to each (and why).

The IT Value Pyramid shows you that you’re most valued when you’re advancing the business and its market position. To do this you need the active support and involvement of the organization.
