Gain the wisdom of your CIO peers, solutions tailored just for you, fast-tracked and relevant knowledge, accountability so you achieve results at every meeting, and connection to influencers and talent.
Get excited about the new ideas you'll get and the connections you'll make!
The CIO Inner Circle (CIOIC) is the only Peer Discussion and Problem Solving Group for Enterprise Level CIOs that works in small groups of the same 4 to 10 members at every meeting, builds trust, and delivers individualized attention.
Solutions at the CIOIC Peer Groups ALWAYS apply perfectly to your challenge because the groups and answers are tailored to the specific challenges of members. There is no travel and CIOIC Peer Groups are effortless and energizing to attend.
It can be lonely as a CIO and it can be tough to find the right answers. When you meet with a small group of the same peers each month, who share the same role as you, and you learn about the challenges they face that are similar to your own, and you start sharing ideas, you get a sense of what works. Your bond with your tribe gets stronger at every meeting. How much money and time can you and your company save by hearing answers from a group of CIOs you trust?
At CIOIC meetings, you will gain:
CIOIC guarantees no irrelevant speakers, no useless information, no sales pitches, no travel, no wasted time, and no nervous networking.
Do you feel like your CEO has a lot of peer groups and resources just for him or her, but there's no peer group for CIOs? The CIOIC is a peer group for CIOs, so they have answers, friends, advisors, and strategies when they need them.
CIOIC Peer Groups are for Chief Information Officers of Enterprise level companies who are ambitious, friendly, and helpful.
CIOIC Members want to level up their capabilities for different reasons:
The CIOIC directly addresses each of these.
The CIO Inner Circle was created to help Enterprise-level CIOs fast-track their company's growth and become more skilled by overcoming their current career challenges.
Being around other CIOs and seeing how they work with their CEO and Board, sharing success stories and solutions to challenges, all of this creates a valuable bond and helps CIOs learn from each other.
Peer Discussion Groups are the fastest way to learn with the best retention rate.
CIOIC Peer Groups are the opposite of the many tech networking groups and classes that feature a speaker of the month, give information that doesn’t apply to your challenge, deliver unwanted sales pitches, provide superficial networking, with no follow up after the meeting, and waste your time.
At CIOIC Peer Groups, members become your friends, you develop connections with influencers, and you build up your skills so your company and your own abilities can advance forward.
Each CIOIC peer group meets virtually on a video call each month.
The groups are comprised of the same 4 to 10 Enterprise-level CIO members at each meeting, who share their career challenge they are currently working on.
This builds trust as you share your vulnerabilities and strategies from the trenches with each other.
Right away, you can deep dive into direct challenges you're facing, get ideas, and in turn, share ideas.
Members then share their direct experience with a similar challenge, the solutions that worked, and the “gotchas” to avoid.
Each meeting is run by a professional facilitator with Enterprise-Level CIO experience, so that meetings are run on time, each member is heard, their challenge is discussed, and they leave with an action plan to follow for the next meeting.
Peer group members get things done and achieve results at each meeting, because members hold each other accountable, so that every member is motivated to complete their action plan.
Members gain the added benefit of communication channels to talk to their peer members in between meetings, so that their progress continues throughout the month.
Don't feel so alone! Instead, make progress with a meeting of the minds, and gain ideas, tools and strategies from your tribe of CIOs!
The CIO Inner Circle (CIOIC) steers its members to fast and healthy career growth, even exponential growth. CIOs gain access to people with the right answers whenever they need it.
The CIOIC is a carefully selected peer consulting and discussion group that enables its members to push themselves and develop their abilities.
Small peer discussion groups, with the same 4 to 10 members, are the fastest ways to learn and retain knowledge. Not only do you work closely with other CIOs who have solved a challenge you’re currently working on, but you also learn from these 4 to 10 other CIOs as they tackle solutions to their own IT challenges. Members gain insights into working with a wide array of scenarios and can put together their own playbook of best practices.
As a former acting CIO of a fast-growth, 750 employee, $125 million manufacturing company, I know what it’s like to fight daily fires and deal with challenging people and situations.
My experience with running an outsourced Cloud Hosting and IT consulting firm for 22 years, and being in one of the world’s most successful IT peer groups for 10 years, along with running CIO peer groups, gives me valuable insights into how technology peer group members can get the most value, clarity, solutions, and results. I designed the CIOIC to produce those exact deliverables to the Enterprise-Level CIO community.
To your career success,
