The Way Forward: Building the Digital Enterprise

Thank you for agreeing to participate in the 2022 CanadianCIO survey. The information will be used on a confidential basis to produce a snapshot of CIO views addressing industry challenges. After months where the pandemic made "getting through the next day" the priority, CIOs are now turning their attention to recovery and the way forward. The 2021 CanadianCIO Census covers all aspects of the CIO’s role, with added questions to learn from one another on what's ahead as the COVID-19 crisis abates. The first 100 to complete the census will be invited to an exclusive participant briefing on the CIO mindset. Special thanks to VMware for sponsoring this research.
