1. Can you explain more about the methodology behind selecting leaders for the BT150 list? Leaders are nominated to the BT150 through referrals from alumnis, technology vendors and analysts. Once we take referrals, we then do reference checks looking for real projects completed, leadership and mentorship, and standing among colleagues and peer groups. There also is a No A-hole policy so that often eliminates nominees.
     
  2. What is the BT150 Program? The BT150 is a non-commercial annual awards program and there are no fees to be an inductee. The list is a who's who of innovative CIOs, CMOs, CDOs, and other digital leaders from around the globe. This elite list recognizes senior executives who are leading transformation efforts around the world.
