ABSTRACT
At the same time, a considerable group among my CIO friends would like to replace that “I” with a new letter. They respect and admire the “E” but they recognize the considerable challenges in obtaining it. They typically want nothing to do with the “F,” and they do not consider the “S” to be a step forward. But that “O,” that beautiful “O.” With its promise of more power, better compensation, increased status, and an unquestioned place at the table, “O” is a letter they deem worth fighting for.
