		+	In organizations that take technology to mean [[Information_Technology_(IT)\|information technology (IT)]] or [[Information_and_Communications_Technology_(ICT)\|information and communications technology (ICT)]] the CTO is the head of the IT department. Some organizations think of technology only as technical infrastructure and assign this role to the head of infrastructure. A CTO can also be the title given to the head of [[Enterprise_Architecture\|enterprise architecture planning]].
