some grumbling and mimblings

My career's northstar is be a CIO/COO for an IT department, preferably within the Financial Services domain. 

That was also the main reason why i decided to pursue MBA at IIM indore.

Currently i am sitting in a place where i do feel i am struck up doing the less value add work. I would need to improve upon myself in a more disciplined and dedicated manner so that i can acheive my North star

There are 3 main streams of IT i am being exposed to

1. Analytics ( minor specilization in MBA, interested in pursuing management roles here)

2. Digital - (part of Digital Banking, being a scrum Master for AccountAggregator feature within MobileApp)

3. IT Project/Program/Portfolio Management

This is today's state of situation. How do i better myself in 3 of them? Is it required to pursue all 3? Analytics + ProgM or Digital + ProgM or Digital + Analytics - how do i decide which of the three i should pursue. 

As i read various articles, any CIO would be into the above 3 in a major way along with the projects which are required to sustain the current operations. I think i am in the right location, probably not yet in the right role.

I will work towards the role and keep bettering me with the skills, knowledge and build experience

To build up into a Data Analytics Business/IT Executive

I want to build this as a route that i have taken to don a role of Data Analytics Business/IT executive.

1.  I have begun the People Analytics course in Courseera to help me in my current role as a PMO

July-2013

This month has started nicely, but there are some unpleasant things which i do not want to share...I would not want to ever write them..

I had the IIM-Indore interview on 14-JULY-2013. I have given my best and have posted the experience.

Still i need to start the applications which have opened for
IIM-Ahmedabad( by 10-AUG-2013)
IIM-Bangalore(by 30-AUG-2013)
IIM-Calcutta(by 30-AUG-2013)
ISB-Hyderabad(by 15-SEP-2013)
IIM-Lucknow(by 30-OCT-2013)

I hope that i would give my best try and could get the calls from all and could clear at least some of them. They are my best steps towards my aspiration.

I am starting with IIMA application and eagerly waiting on IIM-Indore.
