"To successfully lead digital transformation initiatives, CIOs must co-own efforts with business leaders to place the design, delivery and management of digital capabilities with teams closest to the point where value is created."

CIOs have already been laying the foundation for democratized digital delivery with technologies such as low-code platforms, which 64% of CIOs said they have deployed or plan to deploy in the next 24 months.

Generative AI, which 70% of CIOs say is a game-changing technology, will also rapidly advance the democratization of digital delivery beyond the IT function.

"Today's CIO has ambitions well beyond IT delivery," said Bishop.

55% of CIOs polled embrace an operator mindset, where the CIO retains digital delivery responsibility and partners with CxOs as sponsors of business area digital initiatives.

"As CIOs are expected by their CEO to orchestrate a range of enterprise outcomes, CIOs must integrate and align the digital initiatives led by their CxO counterparts. CIO and CXO co-ownership of digital delivery is an indivisible part of enterprise - not just functional - outcome attainment."
