Summary
New research suggests that IT organizations have suffered a reputational hit. According to the IBM Institute for Business Value survey indicates a troubling decline in confidence among C-suite executives in their IT teams, with only 36% of CEOs stating they trust their IT departments to deliver essential services. This reflects a broader trend of waning confidence among IT leaders themselves. The findings suggest that increasing expectations, coupled with the rapid adoption of advanced technologies, are challenging IT professionals who are struggling with legacy systems and a talent shortage. As a result, IT departments are often seen as slow and less integral to strategic business functions, potentially hindering future investment and collaboration.
