Putting the CIO`s Role in Perspective

Apr 3, 2008

IT leaders don’t think they’re quite on par with other C-level executives, but very few believe the role will disappear, according to new research by CIO Insight.

In CIO Insight‘s April research report on the role of the CIO , we asked IT leaders for their take on six notable quotations about the role itself. Some were positive, others downright apocalyptic.

Check out the responses, and tell us what you think in our comments section, or e-mail us at editors@cioinsight.com.

QUOTE 1

“CIOs are now expected to deliver the solutions that make the enterprise different in a way that matters to company performance and customer satisfaction.”

Mark McDonald, Group VP and heard of research, Gartner Executive Programs

 Strongly Agree         51%

 Agree                     46%

 Disagree                   2%

 Strongly Disagree       0%  

CIOs’ strong endorsement of McDonald’s comment shows they feel they do make a difference. That sentiment echoed the findings of CIO Insight‘s January research report on customer strategies.
