Press Release: Stat of the Week -- What is your IT organization's role in business innovation?

What is your IT organization's role in business innovation?

There is an increase to 20% (from 15% in 2009) for the response "not an important focus for IT." This is concerning for Cutter Senior Consultant Mike Sisco.* "I would like to see this response decline. So much of what business needs to do these days depends upon IT support. One of the top concerns of CEOs and CIOs for many years has been ensuring IT is aligned with the business. When your IT organization develops an IT strategy, communicates it to senior management, and gains its concurrence, it is hard to be out of sync with the business."
