Council of Chief Information Officers
The role of Chief Information Officer has transformed in recent years.
Investing in the latest technology doesn’t guarantee success on its own.
How will you lead your organization through massive digital change?
The Conference Board of Canada’s Council of Chief Information Officers (CCIO) helps members discover how CIOs are advancing their organizations in the new digital economy.
Who Should Join?
CCIO is for senior leaders responsible for managing their organization’s information technology.
Members are committed to enhancing their practices—and their organizations’ performance—through our peer-to-peer networking, professional development opportunities, and research services.
Key Objectives
- To be a place where peers support each other and exchange experiences, knowledge, and ideas about information technology and information management
- To challenge members to a higher level of thinking by stimulating discussion on issues and concerns in the field
- To be a sounding board for research projects that the Conference Board may undertake
