About the CIO Survey

The Harvey Nash / KPMG CIO Survey is the world’s largest study of IT leadership.

From careers to digital strategies, from managing IT to executing projects, the report covers the key topics that affect IT leaders and organisations across the world.



SECURITY





executive Summary

In last year’s survey, Harvey Nash and KPMG reported how CIOs were holding a steady line in the face of global uncertainty, cutting costs and refining business processes. Whilst much of this geopolitical instability remains, this year’s report shows how CIOs are benefiting from bigger budgets and headcount growth.

Special Report: MIT CISR

Over 1,000 respondents to the Harvey Nash / KPMG CIO Survey provided additional information, including company name, to take part in further analysis by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Center for Information Systems Research.

20 Years of the CIO Survey

How has technology changed in the last two decades? You won’t be surprised to see that an awful lot has happened since 1998 – the year of the Nagano Winter Olympics, the Good Friday agreement and the founding of Google.com.
