Innovator CIOs Are Everywhere But In Banking

Computerworld just published its list of the top 100 innovators. I looked for banks and found only two. Citigroup Risk, Compliance and Legal and Wachovia Investment Banking. Not your core banking CIOs mind you. Go figure.

Computerworld just published its list of the top 100 innovators. I am not one to be impressed by "beauty contests" but I like to see how others rank the best performers.The list included all manner of institutions. For example, many organizations were the type that one usually doesn't consider innovative:

Oregon Department of Transportation City of Tallahassee State of Nebraska Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia New York State Court System National Guard University of the Pacific Golden Gate University New Mexico State University George Mason University Six Flags Inc. U. S. Army City of San Antonio Peace Corps. Marriott Vacation Club U. S. Air Forces Chicago Tribune Salvation Army U.S. Postal Service
