As a CIO you are facing a number of different, difficult challenges.  

They are all important; however, one may be more important than all of  the others: finding and keeping qualified technical people.  The problem is that right now in the U.S. there are roughly 500,000  open IT positions. Just to make things even worse, this number is  expected to grow at twice the rate as other jobs in the U.S. according  to Bureau of Labor Statistics growth projections. What CIOs need to  understand is that there is not enough supply to meet an increasing demand for technical talent. 

How can CIOs deal with this problem?
