Siebel Gregory Stephanopoulos Matthew Szulik Ralph Szygenda Kevin Turner Meg Whitman Award MethodologyHow We Chose the honorees We used a multitier process for selecting the CIO 20/20 Vision Awards honorees. First, we put together an application seeking nominations of leaders in two categories: one for the creators and marketers of technology, and one for users and practitioners of technology?CIOs, CTOs and CEOs. This application was available online and open to anyone who wanted to nominate. At the same time, we convened a panel (see “Nominations Expert Panel,” below) of leading business and technology gurus, industry experts and academics who nominated candidates in both categories. Then CIO editors screened and judged the 300 nominees. After much debate and research, we selected a list of 40 whose vision, execution and impact changed the rules of business and even, in some cases, the way we live.Nominations Expert PanelAs part of the CIO 20/20 Vision Awards judging process, the following distinguished panel of experts, academics and consultants from various industries nominated candidates for our consideration.Jordan Battani, Vice President, First Consulting Group (consultancy providing IT services to health-care, pharmaceutical and insurance agencies); Pam Boschee, Managing Editor, PennWell Corp.?Electric Light and Power; Charles Andre Brouwers, Vice President, The Boston Consulting Group (international strategy and general management consultancy); Erica Drazen, Vice President of Emerging Practices, First Consulting Group; John Edwards, Business and Technology Writer; Robert W. “Doc” Hall, Editor in Chief, Target Magazine (available through the Association for Manufacturing Excellence); Dan C.
