The Essential CIO

How are technology leaders helping their organisations adapt to the accelerating change and complexity that mark today’s competitive and economic landscape? To find out, we spoke in person with 3,018 CIOs, spanning 71 countries and 18 industries.

Leadership, capability and culture

For Chief Information Officers (CIOs) wanting to move beyond the confines of a traditional Information Technology (IT) based role, the demands are significant.
