Symptom vs. Root Cause
Have You Focused on Fixing the Wrong Cause of a Problem? As a human species, we are still facing many problems and challenges. Either for individuals, organizations, or society as a whole, the problem-solving capability is crucial to surviving and thriving.

Three IT Mentalities Enlarging Digital Gaps, Generally speaking, the job of a CIO has three parts: The first part is IT leadership. The task is to identify and recommend the latest technology trends that provide strategic value for businesses. This is probably the most forward-looking part to improve IT maturity. The second part is their representation on the executive staff, the job is to respond to requests from other executives for solutions to business problems and provide input into strategic planning. The third part is the management of their organization. The task is to improve operations to reduce the burden on the company while trying to stay current with ever-changing technologies. That includes reducing costs, improving systems, streamlining processes and providing continually expanding services.
