Chief Strategy Officer: The ‘quiet strategy counsels’ of the CEO
In a 2013 IBM survey, 67% of CEOs ranked the CSO’s importance as second to the CFO’s. As per many recruiting agencies, CSOs have experienced tremendous growth in C-Suite roles. Howard Schultz, the Chairman and CEO of Starbucks Corporation, quit the role of CEO in 2000 to become the company's Chief Global Strategist, assisting Starbucks in expanding to more than 35,000 locations globally. As a result, Starbucks became a social center for many Americans.
Businesses recognize that 'execution without strategy is pointless.' And the CSO is a leadership team executive whose exclusive focus is on the company or corporate strategy.
