Following the release of the third annual Global CIO Survey 2008, public sector CIOs see their roles and IT as the key source of innovation.
Along with the financial services industry, both sectors demonstrated a trend
towards IT innovation.
The survey also highlighted the changing behaviour of users and how new members of the workforce are using new technoogy to innovate for themselves with no help from the IT department.
“For CIOs, managing the balance between cost containment and continuity whilst driving competitive advantage is a constant challenge,” Eric states.
The report also uncovers that the change in user behaviour towards innovataion without the involvement of the IT department poses a threat to the CIO, who are warned they could become spectators instead of leaders.
