Jason Hiner at TechRepublic blog to talk about what the 5 habits of unsuccessful CIOjev (Chief Information Officer). Video can be viewed at this link. Btw, the guy has a fine naštudirano rhetoric, I recommend viewing.
First, it exposes the fact that it is very large and ways. very easy to be unsuccessful and not so many ways that you are successful. The contribution was created because of these 5 habits that also applied to many other areas and to draw from them what life lesson :)
CIOji are often keen on buying new technology because they like because they know how to motivate vendors, etc.. In any case, before buying necessary human resources to know exactly why the new technology introduced in the company. The real reasons for the purchase of new technology should be primarily: save money, increase efficiency or new competition provide business advantage
This could be said also buying from (whatever, just because) principle. We have many examples. Not always paid. The first iPhone buyers are paying him a lot more than those who are a little wait. The new laptop, which is just a new and cool will be cheaper in a few months. If a neighbor has a new car, or you have to have one? 2 Resistance to open-source solutions human resources
In this case, CIOji may be delayed opportunity to maximize IT investment in the company. Successful CIO will always be open to all possibilities, products, solutions and trends that are happening in the market, from open-source to "traditional" licensing.
In any case and in any situation it is necessary to have your eyes open and monitor human resources the developments around them. The power of observation. Or at home if you always eat only ice cream Planica, you can not know where else there's any better.

You Do The Math.
If doing what is not actually necessary and not your competitive advantage, therefore, is not-or doing right, wrong things, one of the main and most common causes of failure. Yes, sometimes it is necessary to suppress your ego.
An example human resources of a boat and motor. The company has a boat. The IT department is the engine that drives the boat and, therefore company. Successful CIOji understand how to nurture IT company that squeezed as much as possible and bring as much money. The purpose of the IT department in the company is developing new technologies, but also enable greater efficiency of the company. No matter how well the IT department in the implementation of technology, if the company does not use, in the end does not have any of that (with the exception of lower profits).
