Jun 10, 2022 | 2 minADAPT’s Director of Strategic Research, Matt Boon, reveals the core findings from Australia’s top 196 CIOs’ surveys to show common aims, investments and funding plans.
Competing business priorities, the talent shortage, and legacy mindsets impede CIOs’ abilities to deliver on IT initiatives.
Data scientists, cloud architects, and strategic leaders are the most in-demand skills in technology departments.
Key Takeaways:
- CIOs must invest more in the hybrid employee experience to overcome team bonding, digital fatigue and idea-sharing issues across the organisation
- In 2023, ADAPT forecasts that 53% of employees will work from home, compared to 12% in the pre-COVID era
- In 2022, CIOs’ top investments revolve around people: upskilling, leadership development, IT culture development, and cyber security awareness
