CIOs Run Everything, Say CIOs: Citrix Survey
One charmingly consistent quirk of survey research is that people overstate their importance. This Citrix study of CIOs is an extreme case in point: two-thirds of respondents say the CIO is second only to the CEO in terms of delivering business strategy, and nearly as many expect tech leaders to be largely or entirely responsible for marketing, sales, customer experience, employee experience, talent recruitment, financial performance and pretty much everything else in the next five years. Silly CIOs: we all know that newsletter editors are really in charge.
