Mark P. McDonaldDespite challenging times, executives expect IT to deliver more than generic operations. CIOs are feeling a gap between the impact the business needs and ITs confidence in delivering results. This tension is leading CIOs to a tough decision, either accelerate IT’s external impact to create distinctive solutions or face continued budget pressures by optimizing generic operations. The choice is clear, and making the difference will be central to IT success for 2008 and beyond.
Key Issues:
  • What are the ways to deliver value in 2008?
  • How is the CIO role changing?
  • How do CIOs expect to create value in 2008?
  • What are business expectations for IT and how have they changed?
