Deloitte's 2016–2017 global survey of CIOs
takes us a step forward in gaining a deeper understanding of how
CIOs create legacy - the value and impact technology leaders
deliver to their organisations. Through in-depth interviews and
online surveys, we collected the opinions and insights of more than
1,200 CIOs across 23 industry segments in 48 countries. Over a
quarter of UK respondents were from the FTSE 250 and responses from
UK CIOs were up 19% on last year's survey.
This year the survey explores the extent to which CIO
personality traits ("nature") influence legacy more or
less than technology capabilities ("nurture"). We also
explore the gaps between IT capabilities and business expectations
and the agility of CIOs to realign their capabilities to their
business needs. Finally, we analyse the idea of the "digital
iceberg" and how CIOs are better positioned than any other
occupant of the C-suite to drive digital across the entire
organisation.
