It is rare now to speak to the CIO. A 180 from just 1 year ago. The average CIO is now running people and departments. They seem to be in some sort of ugly rut.

Who now leads with innovation? The IT Department heads cannot execute anything without the CIO. So how does the Technology Dept grow? How do they learn? What is new and special about the team or department?

 Sounds familiar?

By the way….Is there no wonder now why there are no more IT jobs out there?

I am trying to gain an understanding of the average size of departments in terms of technical and sales functions. For example, I believe that most companies will have a pre-sales/sales engineer for every 2-3 sales people. Can anyone advise me on this and how big the development team would be in comparison? Thanks.
