The placement of Interim Chief Information Officers and Chief Data Officers (CIO & CDO) is central to the mission of The Registry. The Registry is the nation’s best source for senior interim leadership. We place CIOs at public colleges and universities; community colleges and state systems offices; and private colleges and universities including faith-based and minority-serving institutions. Highly experienced Registry Interim CIOs arrive on campus ready to introduce best practices related to shared services, cloud-computing, data storage and information security, digital communications, and data analytics and integration. Registry Interim CIOs advance an institution through periods of (un)anticipated transition, ensuring integrity and transparency throughout the process.
The Registry’s success in delivering the right interim leaders to the right institutions is built upon a proven, four-step process:
We work closely with you to gain the knowledge and insight to find candidates who fit your goals. They will review materials and consult directly with your board chair, president and other key decision makers.
We help you make the right choice. A Registry principal will travel to campus with your chosen finalists to participate in a customized and collegial selection process.
We offer a pool deep with talent. Our members are already vetted by and contracted to The Registry and can be ready on short notice to assume interim positions.
We help you manage expectations. A Registry principal will develop an expectations document that identities your challenges and priorities and establishes accountability for your new interim administrator.
The Registry achieves positive results because it is built upon a foundation of Gold Standard Best Practices for engaging external interim leaders:
The Registry offers the best pricing model—our fees are incurred on a monthly-only basis. They will be roughly equivalent to your institution’s established budget for salary and fringe benefits for the duration of our interim service.
