RLE and GCF Partner to Shape CEO-Ready CIOs
Resilient Leaders Elements (RLE) and the Global CIO Forum (GCF) have forged a strategic partnership to deliver leadership development programmes to GCF’s community of more than 48,000 CIOs. The collaboration aligns with GCF’s conference theme “The next CEO is in the room,” recognizing the CIO’s expanding role as an enterprise leader. RLE will provide curricula that build resilience, adaptive leadership, high‑pressure decision‑making, and the shift from functional expertise to organization‑wide impact. Both emerging and seasoned CIOs will gain tools to prepare for senior‑level, potentially CEO‑type responsibilities.
