Choose the right perspective
Match the scope of the person's role, whether one company, one region or a global organization, to the IT function you are building or fixing. For infrastructure and operations questions, favor people whose titles center on those areas, and for business applications or digital change, favor those whose roles covered that work.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you set IT priorities and a budget when every department wants something different?
- 02What would you change first when taking over an IT function with aging infrastructure and weak support processes?
- 03How do you decide which IT work to keep in-house and which to hand to managed service providers or cloud vendors?
