Transformation through collaboration.

The CIO Strategy Council is Canada’s primary national forum bringing together the country’s most forward-thinking chief information officers and executive technology leaders to collectively mobilize on common digital priorities.

What We Do

Cutting across major sectors of the Canadian economy – public, private and not for profit– the Council harnesses the collective expertise and action of Canada’s CIOs to propel Canada as a digital-first nation. The Standards Council of Canada accredited the CIO Strategy Council to develop National Standards of Canada supporting the data-driven economy.

Strategic
Leadership

Regular Council meetings are held, and strategic partnerships are fostered to engage thought leaders and experts nation-wide in discussion and collaboration – accelerating research, policy and solution development on key ICT-related issues impacting CIOs and Canadian society at-large.

Standards & Technology

Standards are established by the collective and collaborative efforts of the Council to inform the design, set the rules and accelerate adoption and access to market – building a digital-first Canada and giving an advantage over counterparts in the global information and technology ecosystem.

Skills
and talent

Working together, Council members and its strategic partners provide guidance to help address the challenges and opportunities facing the future of work in order to keep Canada’s ICT talent competitive within the global economy.
