Interim Management Consultancy, Impact Executives, Reveals Results of IT Leadership Report
LONDON, September 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Impact Executives, a leading interim management ( http://www.impactexecutives.com ) consultancy, has revealed striking findings from the latest Harvey Nash & CIO UK IT leadership report. Findings suggest IT has entered the downturn as a true "business" function, rather than simply a technical function. The report also reveals that businesses are now more responsive to IT led innovations that can reduce business costs or generate new sources of revenue. The report features an IT leadership survey - which polled 1,300 IT leaders across Europe, and detailed commentary from IT leaders in the UK. It examines how executives are managing and motivating their IT teams during difficult economic conditions. The report, recently published by interim management company, Impact Executives, shows that IT leaders are being more communicative both up and down the chain. They are reassuring their teams and the business at large, and they are leading by example. They are making tough decisions: 73 per cent changed their IT strategy this year, but change is being managed in a structured and sympathetic way, with a focus on recovery, not panic. Dave Williams, IT Director for Confused.com, is one of the IT leaders who provided supporting commentary for the survey. He says, "In the last downturn I learned how to negotiate contracts and to understand the market better as well as developing good people skills," he continues "this time around IT leaders have a better business head." The full report features commentary from Jora Gill, VP of international business systems at Standard and Poor's, and Adrian Dilworth, CIO of Vodafone Qatar.
