Following the release of Capgemini’s third annual Global CIO Survey 2008, three-quarters of CIOs have admitted that they are not driving innovation within

in business innovation.
Ivar explains that as IT has become a core function, its focus has moved from innovation to operations. “But if you do that to the exclusion of all else, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy,”
“There should be an element of the (business change agent) role and the (IT operator) role in the CIOs - matching the balance of the two with your sector’s requirements is important.”
