I was with my CIO the other day. He turned on his monitor and said 'look, is this what you want to really do?' Spreadsheets on time management, project management, and convincing his fellow Chiefs that he was on the right track. He had a damn good point. I love coding and math.

I have never understood why many companies have executive and managers doing administrative tasks. They should get administrative assistants tracking time, projects, resources, etc. It is a waste of their executive and technical talents.

There are many great things that a CIO can do without having to spend a lot of their time tracking things.

The admins create the spreadsheets, the CxOs argue with each other about the spreadsheet contents.
We can't assume that GP's CIO is not title-inflated.
