The Contributing CIO program is a core part of The National CIO Review.

It reflects what we aim to do every day: elevate the voices of technology leaders who are actually in the seat, sharing what they see as they lead through it.

Here are a few standout articles from our Contributing CIOs:

First, Chris Mowry tackles a familiar breakdown: strategy is defined, but execution lacks clarity. Ownership becomes fragmented, decisions stall, and work moves forward without alignment, introducing risk over time. At its core, organizational design directly shapes how technology gets delivered.

Paul Zyla explores how that model is evolving. Technology no longer operates in silos. Cloud platforms, vendors, and embedded teams are now part of execution, reshaping the CIO’s role. The focus shifts from control to connection, bringing these moving pieces together to drive outcomes.
