The overwhelming majority of CIOs believe that:

1. The single most important thing needed to advance themselves is: “to develop IT leadership skills in their people.”

2. To gain access to the executive suite they need to: “develop their own personal influence and communication skills.”

3. Soft skills and the ability to communicate with the business is far more important than technical skills.


The areas receiving the greatest training and professional budgets are:

-Enterprise Architecture--Technical Architecture-

-Functional Training--Technical Training-

-Package Training / Certification--Business Analysis-
