make you knowledgeable and effective in both arenas.
"The business part is what’s absolutely critical ... You’ve got to know and understand your business, know about finance, how to negotiate deals with vendors (etc.) ... Technology you can learn, but it’s not as important as those other skills are."

“CIOs are no longer back office systems people who live in the basement – they are people who have technology backgrounds mixing and mingling and asking questions about the business.”
Monty Hamilton
