Annual Global CIO Survey 2014

14.12 CIO event-thumb-354x236-3446

The annual Harvey Nash CIO Survey launched in Sydney in early December 2014.

This is a long running CIO survey with responses from more than 3,200 CIOs and technology leaders globally.

It was interesting to join the panel at this event for a lively discussion of technology and business related matters.

My fellow panelists were:

David Hackshall – CIO, Wesfarmers Insurance
Theresa Eyssens – CEO, Datacom
Lee Bustin – CIO, Group M

We had a wide-ranging discussion including: big data (and its friend little data); the importance of good alignment between IT and marketing for the business; and the need for a new kind of IT that is freed up from legacy systems and closely aligned to the business.

Some of the comments are documented here.
