(www.hmgstrategy.com), an established provider of networking events and professional services to CIOs and senior executives across the IT industry. HMG Strategy is the producer of world-class events such as the CIO Executive Leadership Series, which provides CIOs and senior executives with opportunities to learn from thought leaders, share knowledge and best practices, and interact with peers and industry leaders representing a wide variety of dynamic markets.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike the CIOs of the recent decade, the modern CIO must take an active hand in developing and guiding the multiple processes required to achieve the company's strategic goals. This represents a sharp break with the past, when the primary responsibility of IT was serving internal customers and responding to the expressed needs of business units operating within the traditional boundaries of the enterprise.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Transformational CIO serves as a helpful guide for CIOs, IT leaders, and IT suppliers, covering many of the critical topics that concern IT executives struggling to manage successfully in today's rapidly changing markets. It introduces Muller's four-step model—define, build, lead, and change—revealing a simple, practical framework for developing transformational projects, rolling them out smoothly, and making them operational within the accelerated time frames that have become the norm in business today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntelligent and visionary, The Transformational CIO explores real-world situations in which IT leaders successfully managed the types of challenges and issues that, sooner or later, you are likely to confront in your career, with invaluable guidance on:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003ePartnering with your business\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to think like a CEO\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eYour first 30 days on the job—what you need to do\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to prepare for the next steps on your career path\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eAttracting and keeping superior talent\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnriching customer experience\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this truly quantum universe, the CIO's portfolio of responsibilities includes hundreds of duties.

It goes beyond just the technical 'flavor of the day' (e.g., cloud computing) and integrates a complete view of business, cultural, and leadership factors that must be considered. It goes further than that as a guide, a trip planner, and perhaps a basic reference for success in the complex times to come.\"\u003cbr\u003e —Howard Rubin, founder, Rubin Worldwide\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Today's CIOs are under intense pressure to generate results for the business.
