Top IT Trends in MANAGEMENT Drive Projects: Sum Up

by Bob Turek on February 8th, 2008

My sum up to CIO Insight’s Top IT Trends in 2008 related to MANAGEMENT reveals a need to focus on centralizing non-IT executive control vs. expanding the CIO role, and cleaning up and innovatively using data already out there for decision-making.

The CIO Insight MANAGEMENT trends of 1. No downturn for CIO role, 2. CIO role becoming more demanding, 3. IT metamorphosis continuing, 4. IT grad shortage changing the face of IT, 5. IT outsiders providing inspiration, and 6. Master Data Management expanding, caused these reactions in my two posts related to MANAGEMENT:

• Focus on centralizing non-IT executive control and awareness of IT and non-IT projects, NOT on expanding the CIO’s role.
• Conduct research for innovations outside the company, industry and country.
• Harness current data and systems for innovative decision-making through Master Data Management.

How do you feel about the MANAGEMENT trends and my reactions to them? Do you think the CIO role should be expanded? Why or why isn’t such expansion necessary?
