Fiscal Constraints and Future Challenges: Driving Innovation at the CIO Level: TechAmerica’s Twenty-Second Annual Survey of Federal Chief Information Officers
Cybersecurity tops the list of concerns of federal CIOs in this Spring 2012 survey, because the cyber world now controls everything from elevators to moving money to storing confidential data on citizens. Controlling costs comes next because of flattened funding for IT during the midst of the latest digital revolution: mobile technology. Yet the solutions to these and other problems are not just technical, according to this survey by TechAmerica and Grant Thornton LLP. More depends on top leadership commitment, collaboration among agencies and basic changes in both cyber and government culture.
From January through April 2012, teams of representatives from TechAmerica member firms interviewed CIOs and other IT officials at 35 Federal departments, agencies, major programs and Congressional oversight groups. Survey topics include cybersecurity, controlling cost, human capital, central agency policy and mobility.
