MADISON, Wis. – The CUNA Technology Council has published a new white paper, “Leadership Roadmaps for Credit Union Technology Professionals."
“For credit union information technology staff who focus their career development on one day moving into a C-suite position, what effective planning and best practices can be helpful in the journey?” said the CUNA Tech Council in a released statement. “Whether aiming for chief information officer (CIO), chief technology officer (CTO), or another role, what makes IT professionals uniquely qualified for leadership?”
According to the CUNA Technology Council, the white paper is part roadmap, part human interest—laying out the necessary skill sets and characteristics needed to achieve at the C-suite, and also profiling the journeys of several IT professionals who’ve attained these roles.
In the white paper, five credit union technology executives share their professional journeys and provide insights about:
- Preparing for leadership
- Defining the roadmap
- Trends affecting the journey
- Skill sets, traits of leaders, and executive competencies
- Development plans
