Technology Executive Toolkit

Welcome to your new leadership role in the California State Technology community.

This resource has been developed to support you in a successful on-boarding experience. The Resource Guide is designed to aid you in navigating state processes and establishing key relationships. Throughout the Guide, you will also find many links and even graphics summarizing important government processes. The intent is to provide key resources that will allow you to find answers quickly and efficiently.

In any new position there is always a learning curve when adjusting to the responsibilities, culture, and, perhaps most important, the knowledge required to be successful. To help with this important transition process, executive partners from multiple state departments have come together to determine the information and resources they deemed valuable within the technology leadership community. During various focus group sessions, AIOs and CIOs were asked what information and resources they would have found valuable when they first came into their position. The result of these sessions is a broad collection of resource materials and links captured within the Guide. More importantly, all contributors have been mindful to ensure the content is focused, relevant, and useful. We encourage you to explore the Guide and its contents and discuss associated Department and Agency processes further internally.

We hope you find this Resource Guide a valuable tool as you navigate your new role. Congratulations on becoming one of the newest members of the technology leadership community.
