  • CIO Trends #4: Nordics

    In this e-guide, learn from the experiences of fellow CIOs and discover some of their priorities in the year ahead.

    Read analysis of some of the Nordic results from the Computer Weekly IT priorities survey for this year. Unsurprisingly, cloud computing is one of the biggest draws and more than half of CIOs in the region will spend more on cloud technologies this year than they did in 2016.

    But as the technology matures, CIOs are no longer asking themselves whether or not to move to the cloud, but are focused on what type to go for. CIOs must also consider the balancing act of mixing on-premise IT with public and private clouds.

    Elsewhere, blockchain technology has escaped the perception that it is merely a financial services opportunity, with CIOs in multiple industries looking at its potential. Read more about how CIOs are readying themselves for the technology. 

  • Deloitte CIO survey 2016-2017 – UK Edition

    Deloitte’s 2016–2017 global survey of CIOs, UK edition, takes a step forward in understanding of how CIOs create legacy - the value and impact technology leaders deliver to their organisations.

    The survey explores the extent to which CIO personality traits (“nature”) influence legacy more or less than technology capabilities (“nurture”). It also explore the gaps between IT capabilities and business expectations and the agility of CIOs to realign their capabilities to their business needs. Finally, it analyses 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.

    The survey uncovered a shift in business priorities from “business performance” to “customers,” with 57% of CIOs choosing “customers” as their top priority, compared to 45% in last year’s survey. “Customer” remained the top priority for eight of the 10 industries represented in the survey. However, only 45% of CIOs stated their information technology organisation is involved in delivering customer experience through IT capabilities, and 28% of CIOs feel their IT organisations are below average in their digital skill sets.
