As the person with the CIO job, one of your main tasks is to assign work to the various people who work for you.  As the number of people grows and the amount of work that has to be  done seems to get even larger, this task that once upon a time appeared  to be simple, can quickly get out of hand. 

Over at those fancy new  startup companies that like to refer to themselves as being part of the  “gig economy”, they believe in the importance of information technology  and have started to use both apps and algorithms to assign tasks to the  self employed workers that they use. 

Is this something that you should  be doing?
