According to findings from Info-Tech Research Group’ s CxO Alignment Diagnostic, over 50 % of CxOs [ the C-suite ] expect IT to transform or expand their organisation, but only 5 % of IT teams are meeting this expectation. The firm’ s insights reframe IT leadership as an active, organisation-wide role that must evolve beyond alignment with the business and into full partnership and transformation.
