Why ChiefTech?

Ever wondered why my consulting business is called Chief Technology Solutions? MIS magazine discuss the difference perspectives on the CTO vs CIO role. They put forward four types of CTO:

• The Pilot;
• The Shaman;
• The Professor; and
• The Commando.

Personally I like the idea of the CTO being the person who is "seeking out new technologies, evaluating their impact on the business process, and selectively recommending those that can dramatically affect the business."
