Abolish shared chief information officer position

Proposal 2: Abolish office B-based shared chief information officer position for organization.

Pros	Cons
Unrealistic amount of work to expect a single person to accomplish.
Cost savings for office B.

Can be done on a trial basis.
Does not prevent either office from establishing its own chief information officer position.
Simplifies organizational structure.	Less coordination between office B and office A on information technology issues.

Implications of accepting	Implications of rejecting
Each office determines whether to appoint its own chief information officer.	Continue shared office B-based chief information officer position.
Decide on process for reaching agreement on division of organizational information technology budget.	Office B and office A coordinate on information technology issues.
