"The CIO Professional Network has been a great resource to find out what other CIOs are thinking about by connecting to other CIOs. I have also been able to reach out to people about their personal experiences managing projects or implementing technology so that I can learn from their successes and failures. Also, the research briefs have been very helpful in learning about what others are doing and how to approach things on which you may not have personal experience."
