Is the corporate IT budget slipping from the CIO's grasp?

30/12/2013

Technology's place in the corporate world has changed completely over the past decades. No longer a black art concealed in clean rooms and worshipped by a sect of techies, IT is now a commodity and an extremely flexible one at that. So it's hardly surprising that today IT spending is assessed by a wider audience.

Where is all this leading? Just how much of the IT spend will be decided by the CIO in a few years time? Should crafty CIOs be changing their job spec and title? This is what I'm looking at for the January FT Connected Business*.

I'm seeking comment from companies that have already placed technology spending in the hands of a business team outside of the IT department. I'm also interested in hearing from CIOs who think that this is not a good idea at all.

I'll be conducting interviews across the week commencing January 6 and hope to conclude my research by close of play on Friday January 10.


*Shifting IT Budgets: Who controls corporate IT spending? Gartner predicts that by 2020 90% of IT investment will be decided by business teams other than the IT department. In some companies Chief Marketing Officers already control a sizeable chunk of IT spending. What does this mean for the CIO?
