Interviewing Current Empoyees?

Hi im doing work experience at the moment and am interviewing current employees from all over the business (Hr, Marketing, Business Analytics, Finance etc) about their IS (IT for us British) usage. Asking about their software, computing, phone system etc. These guys are high up and i havent really got many good questions. These questions should lead onto a survey so i need some deep stuff as well. Does anybody have any ideas about some questions to ask? I hope i have made myself clear.

Interviewing Current Empoyees?
If the future of your business depends on using information technology to enable business strategy, is it more important to hire a CIO who has technical skills or one who can relate to senior management and understand the dynamics of this enterprise?





What percentage of your budget (or how much money) should you spend on I.T. and on what should it be spent?





How should senior management measure I.T.'s value?





What has your I.T. department found to be the most effective way to test disaster recovery plans?





How should the I.T. department prioritise metrics to demonstrate the business value of I.T.?





How can management assist in helping to enforce a data security policy?





Should staff be allowed to use social networking sites such as Facebook, Yahoo! Answers, etc. at work, or should they be banned?





It is obviously important that IT staff have the technical ability to do the job, but do you feel that it is just as important that those promoted to managerial roles be able to rapidly build high-performing teams. If so, what do you feel are the best techniques to employ in order to attain this goal?





Do you believe that under-investment in skills training in the IT sector is having a major impact on the UK's ability to compete globally?





A survey by the I.T. Governance Institute of more than 700 chief executives and chief information officers worldwide found that almost four in 10 reported problems relating to inadequate I.T. skills among their I.T. staff. Do you find this to be the case within your firm and, if so, what steps are you taking to reduce or eliminate the problem?





As businesses expand and change, they may outgrow their existing networks and require an upgrade. Since network upgrades tend to be long-term investments, it is important to plan for future growth while still addressing current needs. What do you feel are the best methods and procedures to accomplish this goal?





Today's internal networks are asked to deal with more traffic than ever before, including voice and video, not to mention traditional data. How can you make sure your firm's network can handle the challenges that come with this so-called "hyperconnectivity" while still remaining secure?





Hope these help you out!
