Most CIOs are recruited externally in to their jobs. Recruiting senior executives from the outside is risky and results in a projected 40% failure rate due to the difficulty of assimilating into a new culture, company and, often, industry. But if recruiting from the outside is so prone to failure – why is it the option of choice for most organizations?

This seminar will discuss how best to groom your successor – or ensure that you are selected when the top job is open.
