Hunter Muller

President and CEO of HMG Strategy and Author of The Transformational CIO

Episode Overview

Among other topics, Hunter discusses the following issues with Metis Strategy:

His book, The Transformational CIO, and how he defines a truly “transformational” leader
The logic behind the unique story-telling approach employed in the book that allows the voices of transformational CIOs to really come through
His four-step model for CIOs: Define (a future state vision), Build (a world class team), Lead (by instilling confidence and demonstrating consistency and authenticity), and Change (by inspiring a culture of change that uplifts people to the future state vision)
How CIOs can, and should, think like CEOs by capitalizing on their license to operate across the company to drive growth and identify efficiencies
Eye on the trends: Cloud computing- its ability to enable innovation and the need for IT to deliver so that the business does not bypass IT to purchase capabilities externally, mobility- its ability to enable the mobile work force, and the opportunity CIOs have in this age of technological significance to be a transformational leader
