No Pattern from CIO interviews -- asked for what drives them today:

One says "CIO should be leading strategic change."  But few are doing so.

One says "Build consensus, focus on the infrastructure, release business units to do their own thing."

One says "It is still important to mine the IT spend for cost savings."

One is well positioned as the co-chair of the executive committe for strategy -- and has fingers in everything. But few have that advantage.

General feeling is they are too internally focused and are unintentionally positioning themselves to be surprised by a disruptive development -- is that development the move of IT spend out of IT?  Do you need a CIO as IT spend moves to business units?  What for?
