Tomorrow’s CIO Survey

  • Article

InformationWeek conducted a survey of 720 senior business technology executives. The question posed to these executives was "What are the most important CIO attributes?" Guess what the top 10 responses were from the survey. Starting from number 10, here they are:

10.  Sales Orientation (35%)

9.    Raw intellect (53%)

8.    Technical breadth and depth (55%)

7.    Consensus building (68%)

6.    Team building (80%)

5.    Innovation (81%)

4.    Vision (85%)

3.    Collaboration and communication (88%)

2.    Ability to execute and meet deadlines (89%)

1.    Leadership (94%)

The percentages reflect ratings of 4 or 5 based on a 50-point scale where 1 is "not at all important" and 5 is "extremely important".
