The role of CIO is greatly affected by the maturation of an organization implementing enterprise architecture. Discuss whether or not you believe that it is appropriate to have a single individual take an organization through these stages, or whether the organization should consider replacing the CIO as part of achieving a new level of maturity. Support your conclusions."
This is a very important decision to make and it should not be taken lightly. There are those that feel having the power centralized and allowing for one individual manage the information systems makes it easier to be consistent and eliminates miscommunications.
Others feel having all the power on the backs of one individual is dangerous if that individual makes a costly error and has no checks and balances.
This is a tough decision. Be sure to support your answers.
