The role of CIO seems to be to control what people can see and do within a major computer system and this is so contrary to the culture behind social media that frankly I believe many CIO’s would be tearing their hair out because they can’t control what’s going on. The only solution then is to ban it which is a pity because they’re isolating themselves from the real heart beat of an organisation which comes through in the thoughts of its employees
