As a member, you receive:

Trusted advice. Every Gartner EXP Signature member is assigned a dedicated executive partner, a senior IT executive who has been a CIO or has broad experience advising CIOs on business and IT management issues. The executive partner serves as an objective, trusted advisor who becomes invested in each member's specific agenda. Through one-to-one counsel, your executive partner shares best practices, leading trends and custom solutions applicable to your specific situation, ensuring that you make the most informed decisions.

Decision support. Short of time and faced with pressing decisions, you need a partner who can provide you with answers that meet your specific needs and challenges. As part of your CIO Signature membership, you will receive preferential access to targeted research, plus access to peer executives and key analysts who can answer your questions and provide support throughout your decision-making process.

Best practices. When exploring and launching new initiatives, you'll have access to the case studies, research and tools necessary to successfully adopt new technologies and leverage best practices. CIO-focused research, convenient access to CIO peers, on-site analyst support and leading-edge Gartner events equip you to shorten your learning curve in adopting best practices.

Risk mitigation. Under constant pressure to optimize cost and innovate, CIOs are making "bet the business" decisions every day. Making the wrong technology or management decision can have severe financial and operational impact, as well as career impact. Access to your program director, Gartner analysts, dedicated CIO-focused research and your CIO peers will allow you to avoid common mistakes and known risks in many of your decisions.
