CIO (Chief Information Office), this is a duty concept that has been passed from abroad to China. We all call him as the main information supervisor, and have many articles on their position, rights, obligations and their requirements. But these are based on the principal of the CEO. Please note that all elaboration is based on the understanding of the company's understanding, this "I" representative is information, so there is "CEO "," CTO "," CFO "and other positions, because it is the main information supervisor, naturally considering and managing the issue of informationization. Moreover, the origin of CIO is also due to the government, and companies need to carry out information work, so it is necessary to support such a job. The problem is exactly in this "I" representative. If you explain it as "information", CIO is translated into chief intelligence supervisor, and maybe we will definitely change the functions. Why do you say this, let's take a look at "Information" and "Intelligence". In English, "Information" and "Intelligence" can be expressed as "information", but it is a little difference in Chinese. We don't go to the explanation of these two Chinese characters. Maybe some practical habits may be more explanatory. problem. The most data and its summary reports may be some data, we call this type of data; and some briefings not only provide such a report, but also compare between last year, last month, peers, and existence The gap, we call it information; there is a relatively rare, which is to further analyze the cause of gaps, the impact on business and development, and propose a feasible action plan, this kind is intelligence. Many people also analyze the final process, but the result of decision analysis is to provide intelligence for decision-making. If we translate CIO to the Chief Information Supervisor, his work is only in providing information, which may be integrated, shared, but it is only information. If we translate CIO into chief intelligence supervisors or chief intelligence officers, his work will not only provide comprehensive information, but also to further process the information collected, and propose decision-making intelligence. If there is no last process, just a bunch of information in front of CEO, but also to analyze, will inevitably ask questions about CIO's work. The information is only let us know the status quo, and the intelligence further makes us understand the action steps that should be taken. In this sense, CIO is translated into chief intelligence supervisor more conducive to its clear responsibility than the main information supervisor, and is also more appropriate.
