CIO Mastermind confirms the concept of using external advisory to solve intra-company challenges because in your role you don't have anyone in-house to review with.

It is helpful to network with cross-industry CIOs. A lot of the problems are common and contrasting different approaches helped to broaden my insight.

I like having an opportunity to help colleagues address challenges that they are facing. Making a positive difference is important to me.

By just listening to the questions and suggestions during bottlenecks opens up new ideas and strategies that can be directly applied to my current challenges.
