Collaboration momentum building in 2009; what do CIOs think about IT Governance?
A few days ago the results of our second CIO UK poll were published in this piece -
CIO Debate: Collaboration is building momentum in 2009. The poll corroborated earlier research that we carried out for our
Collaboration advisory service in the summer of last year, in conjunction with the guys at Freeform Dynamics.
The headline findings: despite all the hype, collaboration adoption is still just getting underway. A big part of the reason for this is the difficulty of justifying big up-front infrastructure investments. Where collaboration is growing fastest, though, it's business activities "at the edge" - those involved in interactions with external parties - which seem to be driving things along. There is a significant amount of appetite for collaboration technology, though, and our research indicates that 2009 will be quite a strong year for collaboration technology adoption.
Our third CIO UK poll is now live at
cio.mwdadvisors.com, and this time we're asking a handful of questions about approaches to IT Governance. How many organisations are pursuing formal IT Governance programmes, and if so what are the reasons? Are they basing their efforts on established frameworks like COBIT and ISO 38500? And what are their plans going forward? Those are some of the questions we're looking to explore.
If you're a CIO or IT Director - or you know someone who is - please take 2 minutes to provide your input (or send your contacts the
link)! We'll be publishing our CIO UK Debate piece on this topic in the next few weeks.
