The Changing Role of the CIO - sponsored by Juniper Networks & Qwest Communications

The role of the CIO has changed dramatically from leader of the central IT organization to key player at the executive level.

Simultaneously, unprecedented opportunities for strategic applications for IT are arising with the significant changes in institutional mission wrought by economic turmoil, globalization, and shifting demographics. Join us to hear how today's CIOs are handling these challenges.
