No CIO is perfect, right? Not even you.For an upcoming series of articles, called “True Confessions,” we’re looking for CIOs to share real-life tales of IT close-calls, scares, and experiences that you wish you could rewind and do over. Your name doesn’t have to accompany these tales in print, but please do share them: Your hard-won wisdom could help your peers. If you can laugh at the experience now that you’re looking at it in the rear-view mirror, that’s even better. (By the way, you won’t have to write the article, just share your story.)Maybe you left your notebook PC in a hotel room at a crucial moment, completed a rollout that was as smooth as gravel, or built an application that turned out to have some unexpected side effects. Drop me a line at lmclaughlin at cxo.com. (Please put the words “True Confessions” in the subject line.) I’ll be in touch. But don’t worry, the confidentiality of this confession will be assured.
