RECOMMENDATIONS
- Having similar backgrounds is no guarantee of success but knowing there is a gap is the first step in understanding that contractors need to work hard to communicate.
- Do deep research on the backgrounds of CIO’s you are working with and their team. Where did they previously work? Where did they go to school? Did they work in the private sector?
- Understand their office and where it sits within the larger framework of the state or municipality. Are there mission owners or peers to be influenced?
