Concerns: CEOs are concerned with IT execution – not just the cost of execution, but whether or not the technology efforts of the company are effective and supportive of the company strategy. They are concerned about projects that go off track or never complete, and projects that do not deliver promised results or capabilities to business units. They are concerned that IT operates in a vacuum and does not support the strategic aims of the business. Compliance and risk arising from poorly conceived systems and reporting are also an issue.
