Oxford Economics Report: Leadership in a New Era—IT Steps Up
As businesses continue to grapple with radical changes to their operations and strategies, the IT function has never been more important. IT decision-makers have an opportunity to help move business forward from the disruptions of the past two years by shaping organisations that are more agile, resilient, and future-proofed for new challenges ahead. But many face obstacles in realising this potential.
IT leaders must be empowered to take a guiding role on strategy, and they must be equipped with the necessary tools and data to make key decisions. How can IT decision-makers lead in this new era? What challenges must be addressed to meet their goals?
Recent research from Oxford Economics and the SAP Concur business unit of SAP sheds light on these important questions. In early 2021, we surveyed 500 IT and finance decision-makers across seven countries at organisations with fewer than 1,000 employees, including 200 decision-makers in the IT function. The survey covered the changing nature of IT and finance roles, as well as expectations for the coming years.
