From Practitioner to CIO: Mastering IT Leadership Skills

Many IT professionals rise through technical career paths and suddenly find themselves in leadership roles that demand a completely different skill set.

This discussion breaks down the real gap between being a strong practitioner and becoming an effective CIO — and why so many government organizations struggle with this transition.

We examine why titles like CIO were adopted before organizations understood the leadership expectations behind them, why many practitioners aren’t set up for success, and how the lack of early exposure to good leadership models creates long-term challenges. We also explore what separates the few practitioners who successfully make the leap: the ability to frame technology in terms of organizational impact, communicate without technical jargon, align resources instead of expanding them, and think in terms of enterprise outcomes rather than task-level execution.

This session is essential for anyone looking to grow from technical expert to strategic leader in the public sector.
