CIO en VO : un quart des DSI viré pour performances insuffisantesEdition du 31/03/2009 - par CIO Etats-Unis Une enquête menée aux Etats-Unis par nos confrères du CIO local établit les motifs de licenciements des DSI comparativement aux autres directions de l'entreprise. Un quart est viré pour cause de performances insuffisantes, soit bien plus que leurs collègues DRH ou DAF, mais des pistes existent pour éviter de passer à la trappe trop facilement. Delta Dental parted with its CIO three years ago when he "left to pursue other interests," says Ed Zobeck, executive vice president of HR, operations, integration and facilities at the $2.3 billion dental plan group. Now the position has been eliminated. Then-CFO Laura Czelada took over IT while Delta sought a replacement, says Zobeck. She "did such a good job she retained the responsibility," he says. "We promoted someone to a vice president of IT position and they report to her." Delta Dental's former CIO could not be reached for comment. But still: Replaced by a CFO? We shudder on behalf of CIOs everywhere. It's not that CIOs are easily expended, says Jeff Shuman, vice president of HR and corporate relations at Harris, a $5.3 billion government contractor. But sometimes, the position evolves and the executive doesn't, he says. To avoid this fate, know what kind of CIO your company expects you to be, he says. "When you shift IT from a cost center or service function to more of a business focus with a profit and loss responsibility, it takes very different skills," he says. "Depending on the individual, their interest and success could change." Harris CIO William Miller has been in the job for nearly a decade. "He's been able to grow with the position," Shuman says. One way to longevity is to continually educate yourself and gather new ideas from outside business leaders, says Will Kuchta, vice president of organizational development at Paychex. Vice president of IT Dan Canzano has held the post for 16 years. Kuchta says managers tend to do well at the $2 billion payroll and HR administrative services company if they display fresh thinking and a positive attitude. "We're a service company," he says. "We hire for attitude." Kim S. Nash © 2008 CXO Media Inc.
