CEOs vs. CIOs: IT gets no respect

While the study below is good news for my business partners and me, it's still a tough pill to swallow after all these years. The article is a good read and points some interesting areas of needed improvement.

Take a look at this quote: "About three-quarters of respondents see technology as important in improving enterprise competitiveness, but about 60% reported IT as being effective at that goal." A) only 75% of CEO's see technology as important to improving competitiveness? B) only 6 in 10 say that IT is effective in helping their enterprise business partners to be more competitive.

It's no wonder that CIO turnover remains at such high levels. Which camp are you in? Does your CEO agree with you?
