The CIO Executive Council's IT Value Matrix™ is a comprehensive framework illustrating the principles and practices required to maximize IT value to the enterprise. A project of the CIO Executive Council task force, a team of dozens of CIOs collaborated over 10 months to develop it. The Matrix consists of two linked components: seven "Enduring Leadership Principles" which are the strategic foundation for IT value, and numerous practice categories that contribute to achieving that value. The practice categories are divided into three main sections—Stakeholder Alignment, Communication and the CIO Role.

Panelists include Dennis Trinkle, former CIO of Valparaiso University, and Steven John, CIO of H.B. Fuller (formerly CIO of Agriliance) and co-chair of the team that created the Matrix.
