Architecture & Governance , Tuesday, July 11,2023
Eighty-one percent of large enterprise (LE) CIOs plan to increase their IT headcount in 2023, according to a recent survey by Gartner, Inc. Only 14% expect their IT staff to decrease and 5% expect their headcount to remain the same.
'Attracting and retaining technology talent remain critical areas of concern for CIOs,' said Jose Ramirez, Sr Principal Analyst at Gartner. 'Even with advances in AI, Gartner predicts that the global job impact will be neutral in the next several years due to enterprise adoption lags, implementation times and learning curves.'
Only 4% of CIOs surveyed reported AI-augmented worker as a resource producing technology work today.
The Gartner survey was conducted from October through November of 2022 among 501 respondents, 182 of which were LE CIOs in North America, EMEA and APAC region. The LE segment consists of enterprises with a total annual revenue of $1B USD or more.
