Running IT as an “Outsider”

Many CIO’s are passionate, talented, and motivated but feel limited in effectiveness, by organizational politics, policy and culture. What if they were given full, unrestricted freedom to think, act, and perform as they thought fit? That is, to act as if they were an unbiased outsider with full authority and a mandate to make the necessary changes they see, as needed? How could we enable this kind of freedom to transform an organization and bring unprecedented growth and profitability! Is this truly unrealistic?
