I get to ask the CIO of the company I work for 2-3 questions. Any suggestions?

[Ns1]

hmm?

both bullshit and thoughtful replies will be read, but only thoughtful replies will be considered

some "suggestions":

"These can be questions about MIS, projects, his vision for MIS, learning & development for MIS, or just anything you are just curious about."



This is a major entertainment company.

 

[IronWing]

Waht's MIS?

 

[Farang]

Are you REALLY the CIO of a major entertainment company?

REALLY?

You?

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Ask him what is it he does that justifies his salary?

 

[manimal]

Ask him how you can help him achieve any specific goals or needs? Questions are powerful. Use it make him see you in a new light. If your the dependable diligent worker throw something interesting or innovative at him. If your the dreamer throw something at him about workflow optimization.

Tie in humor in the last question if everything goes well. Dont end on a bad joke though.

What is the future of cloud services?

[ultimatebob]

The same thing I ask all of the IT staff where I work... When are you cheap bastards going to get me a better laptop?

What is your plan for making us more efficient and what tools are being considered? Can the rank and file make suggestions directly or must all communication be passed through the chain of command?

[Cerpin Taxt]

What is your name?
What is your quest?
What is your favorite color?


There we go. Five questions.

Three shall be the number of questions thou shalt ask, and the number of questions shall be three. Four shalt thou not ask, neither ask thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to ask a third. Five is right out.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Any good information today?

 

[her209]

Any good information today?

As in gossip?

 

[SlitheryDee]

As in gossip?

As in whatever the Chief Information Officer deems relevant. I'm sure gossip is a minor part of his job, but information takes many forms.

 

[dawp]

Is that a salami in your pocket or are you happy to see me?

 

[slayer202]

What are some of your weaknesses?

Can you tell me a time where you faced adversity and thrived?

 

[rudder]

Ask which of his executive assistants are shaved.

 

[her209]

Just thought of another good one to ask:

How do I bypass the company technical controls to prevent employees from excessively surfing the Internet without detection?
