Does US CTO Require a CEO, CMO and CFO?

by pkumar . Updated 17 years, 8 months ago

These are exciting times for US to build 21st Century Infrastructure to set the right priorities for Healthcare IT, Clean Energy and Education.
The challenge will be to set the vision for each one of the sectors (Healthcare, Clean Energy and Education).

For example, “Paperless 24×7 Web Based Care System for All Americans”. To achieve this goal someone at the US Healthcare department will have to start dealing with:

+ Execution Strategy
+ Budget/Finance
+ Technology selection and management
+ Marketing at the County, State and Individual Doctor/Patient level
+ Program Management
+ Progress Tracking
+ Change Management

As you can see a strong CTO probably can help provide the transformation technology infrastructure. But, the entire 24×7 web based Healthcare project will require timely capital fusion, marketing and end-to-end coordination between a CEO, CFO, CMO and CTO. Pushing US government for change to advance and more efficient systems would be the fist step?

I can go down the list for each sector. We can definitely make it happen with

+ Consultative Collaboration
+ Execution Focus
+ Innovations and Expansion

Any comments are welcome!!!
