Two-thirds of organizations are adapting their technology strategies in the midst of unprecedented global political and economic uncertainty, with 89 percent maintaining or ramping up investment in innovation, including in digital labor, and more than half investing in more nimble technology platforms, according to the 2017 Harvey Nash/KPMG CIO Survey.
The 2017 Harvey Nash/KPMG CIO Survey is the largest IT leadership survey in the world in terms of number of respondents. The survey of 4,498 CIOs and technology leaders was conducted between Dec. 19, 2016 and April 3, 2017, across 86 countries.
According to the repot it is clear digital strategies have infiltrated businesses across the globe at an entirely new level. The proportion of organizations surveyed that now have enterprise-wide digital strategies increased 52 percent in just two years, and those organizations with a chief digital officer have increased 39 percent over last year. To help deliver these complex digital strategies, organizations also report a huge demand for enterprise architects—the fastestgrowing technology skill this year, up 26 percent compared to 2016.
