2010 CIO Study
Now Available
The 2010 Higher Education Chief Information Officer Roles and Effectiveness study is now available. All U.S. higher education CIOs were invited to participate in the survey, as well as many CIOs internationally. Management team members from institutions of those CIOs who responded were surveyed to obtain another view of the CIO role. The aggregate results were compiled and were contrasted with the 2010 Tech Leader results as well as results from past five survey versions. Some of the findings include: a majority of CIOs anticipate retiring sometime within the next 10 years; women CIOs maybe on the decline; advanced degrees may become a requirement; and tenure remains stable.
