Abstract


This IDC Perspective (video) provides IT leadership insights and challenges from IDC's IT Executive Program (IEP) clients and prospects for the period from December 5 to December 21, 2020. As the economic changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic accelerate businesses' digital transformations, many now see a need for IT leaders that see and use technology and digital initiatives to support and accelerate the work of the entire enterprise. Now, CIOs and their teams are being challenged again — not only to orchestrate a new digital business but also to play a strategic role in leading the business itself.

"In IDC's latest survey related to worldwide enterprise response to the pandemic, 70% of companies had initiated at least one new digital transformation initiative," notes Joe Pucciarelli, group vice president and IT Executive Advisor at IDC. "Of these, 54% of CIOs or CTOs were involved in the final sign-off on the project, indicating that "leading and orchestrating digital" has become a critical part of many CIOs' accepted responsibilities, as this QMI video illustrates."
