Topic #1 Talent Development Plan for CIO
Ms. Rebecca Rapport is a mid-level IT manager at IVK Corporation. She has a bachelors degree in Engineering from an Ivy League university and has been working at IVK for the last 10 years. Her performance has been valued at an exceptional level throughout her tenure at IVK. Thus, she is regarded by many at IVK as a promising candidate for a Chief Information Officer position. While he considers her an executive material, Mr. Carl Williams, the CEO of IVK, worries that she does not have any business background in her credentials. Mr. Williams consults you about devising a talent development plan for Ms. Rapport. Your report has to have at least two or more options that Mr. Williams can accept. Also, make one recommendation for him and provide justification why your choice is the most effective alternative.
