Drawing on the most comprehensive survey of UK CIO opinion and the latest in a series of annual reports from CIO Connect, this report reveals the attitudes, the plans and the strategies that will be driving corporate Britain during the next 12 months. The 2007 census report includes detailed input from over 110 leading CIOs from FTSE 250 companies and high-profile public-sector organisations, and provides a vivid insight into the challenges and business imperatives currently facing enterprise IT managers.

The report explores the CIO's role in business transformation, gauges how successfully IT is delivering value back to the boardroom, and examines some of the trends that are likely to develop in technology adoption and vendor management.

As organisations develop their transformational change programmes, the role played and direction taken by their IT departments will be dictated largely by the profile of the CIO leading the team. In this context, this report uniquely considers the varied influences of the CIO, in terms of their leadership skills, their understanding of the business, their focus on business processes improvement, and their enhancement of customer-facing products and services.
