BY PAUL ROLICH

I recently spoke with a CIO friend of mine. He was gnashing his teeth and pulling his hair, so I knew things werent going well. I asked him what his problem was, and he explained he needed to lay off or restructure a large chunk of his staff and was agonizing over the decisions he had to make. It seems he wasnt making his numbers, and some of his staff was to be right-sized. I suggested that perhaps he could save his staff by admitting his department simply was mismanaged and that he should be transitioned. He didnt seem to think that was a viable option, so I suggested that perhaps the goals actually were unreachable and that his boss may be interested in pursuing other interests. Maybe it was a case of him just being unable to interface well with his employer. This was all starting to sound like a strategic misrepresentation to me, so before the whole thing turned into a pile of recycled data, I suggested my friend brush up on his technical skills just in case he ever needed to do anything other than PowerPoint. Thus, the latest edition of our little quiz.|
