New CIOs

I wrote a series of posts on things to do as a new CIO and I’m going to link all those posts to this page. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

1. First Things First
   1. Connect with your Peers
   2. Understand your Portfolio of Work
   3. Secure the Enterprise
   4. Know What you Spend
   5. Meet Your People
2. Next Steps after the First Things
   1. Collaboration Tools
   2. IT Operations
   3. The Supply Chain
   4. Mobile

I’m going to pause the list at this at this time. I realize these are simplistic and very practical ideas, but perhaps they are useful to you. I might pick up the series again later. If you want to suggest additions, let me know. I’ll close this post for now with a link back to an earlier post about simplifying everywhere you can.
