Networking with Purpose
Forge meaningful connections in a vendor-free, results-oriented environment.
We are not a speaker/topic of the month group. We are driven to solve real-time issues with customized solutions. Members bring issues that they need help on, and the group advises on those issues. Topics may include projects being worked on or leadership issues being processed.
How often do groups meet?
Groups meet once a month, currently on Friday mornings from 7am-9:30am - currently in Pacific (PST) and Mountain (MDT) time zones.
How are you different from other groups?
We are not a networking group, although networking happens as a result of what we do, and when networking does happen, it’s authentic and meaningful. But here’s where our true value lies… Most CIOs are lucky to have even a small network of other CIOs they could reach out to if they needed “outside eyes” on an issue. Those CIOs would be even luckier if they met any one of those other CIOs, even if it was from time to time in any meaningful fashion. CIO Mastermind will put you in front of 10 other high-profile CIOs, once per month, in a professionally facilitated group, to discuss your issues and issues the other CIOs bring to the table. They are structured discussions that create custom solutions that you can implement right away.
What business verticals are present?
We enjoy both private and public sector representation, with business sizes ranging from large to proven start-up.
How many members typically attend?
Groups are capped at 10 while meeting online, and at 12 when meeting in person.
How are the meetings formatted?
Each meeting consists of two “bottleneck” sessions. Prior to each meeting, the facilitator will identify two members who will bring an issue to the table (being in the “hot seat”), and we will spend an hour on the subject involving presentation of the problem, clarification of the issues, and counsel on the situation.
What about confidentiality?
Guests sign a confidentiality pledge, and all members sign a Participation Agreement which restates the confidentiality requirement.
