Select an article - not a book, blog, movie or vendor web site - from a reputable eZine or from the library that matches each topic, so a total of four articles. Your article must address the problem for the topic. The date of it does not matter. Length will be shaped by thoroughness. Look at my reading summaries (see attached) to see exactly how to do this and get an idea of how I approached this project and the varying degrees of length. Please do not use the articles provided in the reading summaries. Follow APA guidelines. Avoid outlines or lists.

Discussion Questions:
1. Select an article and discuss the barriers to green and the opportunities to green this week that are within the CIO's sphere of influence.

We begin every policy analysis by asking ourselves “What is the problem we want to solve?” In this case, the external and internal customers have diverse needs. What are they? How do we as executives reconcile them?
4. Select an article and discuss how you as the CIO can frame your own personal goals as a leader and how you can construct the type of effective leader others (executes and staff) will see in you. What does the future of the CIO look like? Is it worth it?
