CIO 2015 Survey Extracts: “The Strategic Value of the CIO is Waning” “CIOs are spending more time overseeing the nitty-gritty of digital transformation work, such as implementing new systems and redesigning business processes, according to our survey. In some cases, this means a diminished role in big-picture strategic activities such as identifying new commercial opportunities. Specifically, 27 percent of our CIO respondents can be classified as business strategists this year, down from 34 percent last year.” “As roles emerge that bump against CIO boundaries--chief digital officer; chief data officer; chief transformation officer--some observers are quick to declare that the strategic value of the CIO is waning.” “Because more corporate departments have their fingers in the technology pie, a whopping 36 percent of CIOs say they are involved in a turf battle in the C-Suite.” * CIO magazine annual survey of CIOs – January 2015
