In the changing and fast growing pace of technology, my position as a CIO has had to adapt to better align with our company’s business objectives. With the IT seemingly becoming more influential in the business world, it makes sense that the CIO will have more responsibilities in the company (Taewon Hwang, Discussion 1, 9:19 PM). Having a CIO as a business-strategy partner is key to alignment. Not only does he have to manage IT resources, he also must deploy and communicate IT capabilities in the way they align with the business strategic vision (Yves Laison, Discussion 1, 10:22 AM).

With the integration of IT, it would seem like it would be a natural progression from one stage to the next, but changes without a strategic plan will fall short of expectation.

Alignment is not a one-time event, it is a behavior that needs to be developed, cultivated, and sustained. My role as the CIO would be ensure the long-term development of alignment behavior, assessment of the company’s alignment maturity, and realign the IT department as necessary to maintain

Part 1: It would effect everything on the planet, plants would be less able to produce the suns energy and living organisms would be in big trouble.
