A recent example of your leadership style:
Providing developmental opportunities to my team members is key to their success. In one-on-one mentoring meetings, I create an open atmosphere conducive for engagement and learning. I then assign team members to high-profile projects where they have the chance to apply their knowledge and grow as leaders.
How are you turning your IT department into a services organization?

How do you evaluate emerging technologies?
We opened The Innovation Pipeline (TIP), believed to be the world's largest employee crowdsourcing initiative. Externally, our Fast Pitch program brings in potential collaborators to find emerging technologies.
