IDC PeerScape: Peer Insights for IT Value Amid Uncertainty
This IDC PeerScape examines the practices of three IT leaders as they seek to deliver value in a challenging time. "In the current uncertain climate, IT leaders are under pressure to deliver value. However, successful CIOs will keep their eyes focused on digital transformation as a strategy to deliver enduring competitive advantage. Short-term cost containment efforts must be subordinate to multiyear strategies designed to deliver industry leadership through technology," says Stanley B. Gibson, adjunct research advisor with IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP).
