TechRepublic, Friday, September 13th, 2024
Gartner research shows IT leaders can enhance the success prospects of digital initiatives in simple ways.
The success rate of IT projects can be improved by empowering business unit leaders to become tech innovators, Gartner Vice President Analyst Daniel Sanchez-Reina told a crowd of CIOs and IT leaders on Sept. 10 at the Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo in Australia.
As he explained, CIOs in Australia have historically struggled to meet objectives: Only 48% of digital projects are currently meeting or exceeding their goals. However, a cohort of top-performing CIOs are achieving at a much higher success rate, with 71% of their projects reaching their targets.
'This distance is huge,' Sanchez-Reina said. 'And we are talking about enterprise-wide digital initiatives.'
