IBM’s 2008 Global CEO Study
IBM's 2008 Global CEO Study has thrown up some interesting themes. Innovation ranks highly as does talented people and technologies that can disrupt business models. The market turbulence is causing many to segue into a cost-focussed mindset.
This study suggests that such a move would be unwise. In fact successful organisations going forward will be those that have a boardroom ready CIO who is focused on innovation and has the skills and charisma to attract and retain short-supply tech talent.
