Growth tops the list of business priorities reported by CIOs for 2018, according to Gartner’s 2018 CIO Agenda Report. The results mirror the analyst’s prior 2017 CEO Survey, in which 58 percent of respondents identified growth as their top priority.
After polling some 2,615 IT leaders on their organization, one out of four (26 percent) lists growth/market share as the prime objective for 2018. Other key priorities include digital business/digital transformation (cited by 17 percent), profit improvements, and innovation/new products (each cited by 10 percent). Reinforcing the increasing emphasis on top-line growth, there is less focus on cost reductions and operational efficiency (each cited by 6 percent).
