Cisco C-Club

Welcome to "Cisco C-Club",
our new meeting ground for the country's leading CXOs

 

Cisco C-Club

Cisco C-Club has been created with the specific purpose of an intelligent thinking space for CEOs, CIOs, COOs and CTOs. It will showcase fresh perspectives on technology, strategy and business leadership while also functioning as an online sounding board for C Level executives and their peers. The Cisco C-Club website will aim to deliver all this through books, on-line resources, interactive forums or just plain provocative thought.

The CIO Human Network Book Club

Presented jointly by Cisco and the CIO Association of India, the Book Club is an initiative that aims to deliver to your desk, month after month, the best of management writing and thought leadership, on topics relevant to today's CIO.

In September we shared with you "The Greatness Guide 2: 101 Ways to Reach the Next Level" by Robin Sharma. A timely read given the kind of pressures that CIOs are up against, as they attempt to drive business change through IT even as budgets are slashed in the downturn.

We hope that the books sent to you from the Book Club will inspire you to share feedback through book reviews and comments. If the books trigger changes in your work life and environment, the Book Club is the forum to share those experiences. Your feedback will also help us choose relevant books for the months ahead - book suggestions are also very welcome.

So, welcome to a rewarding book-filled journey and join our online forum at www.cioindia.org to write your reviews, experiences, suggestions and comments.

Indian CIOs are right up there!

It would appear though that we are beginning to see in India the kind of CIO leadership that can deliver against the wind - going by the fact that 10 of CIOs listed in Information Weeks 'The Global CIO 50' are from India. This is the second largest from any country, behind only the US and ahead of other powerhouses like Brazil and China.

Through Cisco C-Club we will continue to keep you updated on relevant industry news, information and thought leadership articles. We hope that this portal will open doors, not just to the books themselves, but also to other online resources that are highly relevant to you as a CIO. Do visit the links on this page that showcase these resources.
