How useful is this Toolkit?
To give you an understanding its usefulness, I reviewed a number of job descriptions of CTO roles advertised by companies ranging from small startups to large public companies. I then evaluated the responsibilities against the content in the CTO Toolkit and highlighted how different modules in the Toolkit could be leveraged and applied in the CTO role.
