EXCLUSIVE RESEARCH FROM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2017 State of the CIO 2017 STATE OF THE CIO 2017 State of the CIO AS COMPANIES ACCELERATE THE SHIFT INTO THE ERA OF DIGITAL BUSINESS, CIOs are finally able to devote more time and energy to strategic and transformational activities, despite the on-going requirement to maintain oversight of IT operations, according to the 2017 State of the CIO survey of 646 IT leaders. Evolution of the CIO Role Just like in 2016, the CIO role still covers a lot of ground, requiring IT leaders to strike the right balance between crafting technology strategy and driving business innovation while overseeing routine IT functional tasks such as cost control, vendor negotiation, crisis management, and operational improve- ments. As a result, 87% of CIOs think the role is more challenging than in the past, down a percentage point from last year. Looking out at the three- to five-year horizon, CIO respondents foresee spend- ing less time on functional duties—7% compared to 20% currently—an in- dication that improvements in automation and a growing dexterity with the bi-modal role will afford CIOs the opportunity to concentrate more fully on higher-value, high visibility activities. Nevertheless, it remains a challenge to handle both sets of responsibilities, with 72% of respondents acknowledging the struggle to juggle business innovation and operational excellence requirements. The on-going shift has had a dramatic change on how CIOs view their role.
