While we are seeing more CIOs reporting to CEOs and other business leaders, most IT departments still report up through the CFO.  This article from Information Week provides 5 key reasons why CIOs should foster this relationship within their organizations, specifically:

  1. You need investment
  2. Security costs money
  3. You have to understand revenue
  4. You must retain talent
  5. The team matters

I encourage you to read the full article on Information Week for more insights, but that information can also be valuable to CIOs who do not report into the CFO.
