Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A chief information officer (CIO) is a senior executive responsible for the overall strategy, development, and implementation of an organization's information technology infrastructure. They have major responsibility for long-term information system planning and strategy, which includes identifying opportunities for the organization to use technology to achieve its goals and objectives. They also oversee the day-to-day activities of the information services department, but they are not necessarily involved in managing the internal operations or interfacing with other departments. Developing and administering training programs for information services personnel and computer users may be part of their responsibilities but is not the main one.
