A few paragraphs into an April 25 press release touting HP's strategic IT advisory services, the authors pause to point to recent Gartner research indicating that "new revenue generated each year by IT will determine the annual compensation for most new Global 2000 CIOs."
"Our research shows that by 2016, innovation accomplishments will be among the top three selection criteria for new CIOs," notes Ken McGee, vice president and fellow, Gartner. "This trend is indicative of the extent to which IT will be so closely aligned with enterprise goals that it is the key driver in growth and profitability. To get to this future state, IT must move from supporting to empowering the enterprise."
Really?
