What High-Performing CIOs Review Regularly

If you’re a CIO, you’ve probably had the quiet thought - things are working… but they could be better.

Not broken. Not failing. Just not as aligned, effective or future-ready as they need to be. That’s why I’ve introduced a free CIO Scorecard.

So how does it work?

The scorecard is designed to help you step back and assess where your function really sits today across four critical factors. Here is what great CIOs review.

First, “Clarity” of strategy. Not the strategy on paper, but whether it is genuinely understood and guiding decisions across the organisation. Are the supporting programs truly working in support of that strategy, or are they quietly pulling in different directions?

Second, the “Connection” of the IT Team and the team with broader business colleagues.

Third, the “Capability” and maturity of your IT team. This focuses on the skills you have today, how well they align to current and future objectives, and whether you are actively building the capability required for what comes next.

Finally, the scorecard examines the quality of “Check-Ins” - both yours and your leadership team’s. Not meetings for the sake of meetings, but conversations that create alignment, accountability, and momentum.

The CIO Scorecard allows you to assess your current maturity and identify the steps required to move forward - for your team and the broader business.
