Last month, I hosted a Breakfast With CIOs session in Silicon Valley. This very interesting session gave some insights on the pressures a CIO is facing:

- Selling IT to the C Suite as a critical component to the business is getting difficult everyday due to:
– C-suite not seeing IT as critical
– Projects not meeting goals
– Aligning IT vision to the business vision

Even as these senior leaders showcased how they successfully managed IT value delivery to the business groups, IT services providers would only distill these insights into a direct relationship to their staffing capabilities.

A project to the service market is measured in just people numbers, not in complexity, business goals, and financial benchmarks. Given this big disconnect in how clients (CIOs) and vendors see a project, how do you think the future of IT will pan out?

Thought welcome
