A CIO Hall of Fame recognizes the lifetime achievements of Chief Information Officers to the organizations they work for and the industries they’ve helped to advance. At HMG Strategy, we recognize CIOs for the courageous, authentic and empathetic leadership they’ve demonstrated in areas such as innovation, business transformation and digital disruption. HMG Strategy also recognizes CIOs and technology executives for their leadership in fostering Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; creating new go-to-market business models; modernizing enterprise architectures; and building a culture of trust.

The CIO 100 Award recognizes organizations for technology innovation. Under the 2022-2013 Global Leadership Institute Awards, HMG Strategy takes an inclusive approach to recognizing world-class technology executives who speak at HMG Strategy CIO Leadership Summits along with the contributions and value that their teams deliver to the enterprise.

CIO com is a news site for Chief Information Officers and business technology executives. HMG Strategy’s unique content is focused on the top macro-economic issues facing CIOs, CDOs, CTOs, CISOs and members of the C-suite and their impact upon executing on strategic goals.

A CEO is the upper-most executive in a company, responsible for the financial stewardship and business success for the organization. A CIO is the top technology executive in a company, responsible for the impact and value that technology has on the company’s business performance. In his highly-acclaimed book, The CEO of Technology, HMG Strategy Founder and CEO Hunter Muller fittingly describes how the modern CIO acts as the CEO of Technology.

In most companies, the CIO plays a more strategic role in the deployment of technology to help the organization reach its strategic goals, according to extensive research conducted by HMG Strategy. This is one of the reasons why HMG Strategy is focused on CIO Leadership issues in its CIO Summits. By comparison, a CTO is more tactically focused, identifying the technologies to be purchased or built and helping to make those available for use across the enterprise.

HMG Strategy’s regional CIO and CISO conferences, events and summits, authored books and Digital Resource Center deliver unique, peer-driven guidance from CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, CDOs and technology executives on leadership, innovation, transformation and career ascent. HMG Strategy offers a range of peer-led research services such as its CIO & CISO Executive Leadership Alliance (CELA) program which bring together the world’s top CIOs, CISOs and technology executives to brainstorm on the top opportunities and challenges facing them in their roles.
