Abstract
In this follow-up session to last year's discussion of how to successfully negotiate a new CIO position, the next step in the process will be analyzed. When a senior IT manager accepts a new job, there is an initial period during which decisions and actions can greatly impact her/his chances of succeeding in the position. What are the opportunities and pitfalls to be aware of during the "honeymoon?" A panel of CIOs will discuss their experiences, provide guidelines for assessing opportunities, and share what they would have done differently.
