Gartner would survey 2000+ CIOs and publish the findings. The announcement took the form of two lists. The first was a top 10 business priorities. The second was the top 10 technology priorities. My clients and I found these lists useful in understanding where \u00a0IT leaders focused their brain cycles and budgets.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Gartner went a different direction with their January survey announcement, \u00a0&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/doc\/2643016\/taming-digital-dragon-cio-agenda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Taming the Digital Dragon.<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Digitalization, the third era of enterprise IT, is beginning, but most CIOs do not feel prepared for this next era.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, there was a large survey of 2,339 CIOs. Yes, they published a few statistics, such as &#8220;51 percent of CIOs are concerned that the digital torrent is coming faster than they can cope and 42 percent don&#8217;t feel that they have the talent needed to face this future.&#8221; However there are no lists, no trends and no basis for discussion.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s my take on this, you ask? Gartner is reaching for newer opportunities in strategy consulting for IT. In the process they are shedding a valuable operationally-focused report around vendor, budget and technology priorities within IT. Hey, it&#8217;s their decision what to do. I&#8217;m just saying that I miss the previous lists of CIO Priorities.<\/p>\n<h2>Bill&#8217;s Take on Potential CIO Priorities<\/h2>\n<p>My best hunch is that some of the following might be on CIOs&#8217; minds:<\/p>\n<table class=\"footable\" data-sort=\"false\" data-filter=\"false\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: center;\">Bill&#8217;s Picks<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Prioritizing the &#8220;new four:&#8221; social, mobile, cloud and unstructured data, along side the &#8220;traditional three:&#8221; people processes and technology<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Becoming as good at rapidly applying data to decision-making as Google and Amazon<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Establishing policies to address mobile device proliferation, diversity, management and security<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Becoming more hybrid and federated across Mobile, Desktop, Cloud and Data Center computing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Balancing disruptive innovation with operational predictability<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>What do you think about my list?
