The 2021 State of the CIO, which surveyed 812 IT leaders and 250 line of business (LOB) participants, reflects CIOs’ out-size influence during this tumultuous year. Given the numbers of CIOs stepping up to lead the pandemic response, it’s no wonder almost half (47%) selfidentify as transformational, slightly up over the 46% in the 2020 survey. More than a quarter (28%) of CIO respondents viewed their role as business strategist while a quarter leaned into their functional duties; respondents hailing from the manufacturing and government sectors were more likely to view the CIO role as functional while those in high-tech cast the CIO as business strategist.
