Welcome to the Odgers
CIO Practice Blog

Drop in as often as you can and we’ll try to keep it fresh and interesting.

It is for senior IT professionals and we hope to cover topics of interest to most of you. We’ll give you some recruitment anecdotes and advice if we can, we’ll point to the articles that have made us think or been provocative and we’ll identify the issues that crop up time and time again in our meetings with both clients and candidates. If there’s a great cartoon that makes us laugh we’ll point to it and also drop one or two perspectives on bars and restaurants that we may trip over in the course of duty. If you want to comment then email us on cioblog@odgersberndtson.com and we’ll see if we cannot either publish you or respond. It is a resource for you so let us know.
