In 2008 there were two flavours of C-level technology leader - a permanent CIO or CTO and the second was the interim CIO/CTO. Consultants, at that time, were non-permanent staff and rarely at the C-level. This is a slight simplification of the landscape. Today, the distinction between interim C-suite executives and consultants is more nuanced, and for very good reason. Permanent and as-required tech executives have reshaped. So is there still a place for the interim CIO? Or, is change management pace and scale such that a new breed of supporting actor steps in to help organisations change their narrative?
