81% CIOs Expect to Grow Their IT Team This Year: Report
A recent survey revealed that 81 per cent of the large enterprise (LE) CIOs plan to increase their IT headcount in 2023.
It added only 14 per cent of LE expect their IT staff to decrease and 5 per cent want their headcount to remain the same.
The study was undertaken by Gartner from October to November 2022 among 501 respondents, 182 of which were LE CIOs in North America, EMEA and APAC regions. The LE segment consists of enterprises with a total annual revenue of 1 billion USD or more.
Commenting on the study Jose Ramirez, Sr Principal Analyst at Gartner said, “Attracting and retaining technology talent remain critical areas of concern for CIOs.”
He said that even with advances in AI, Gartner predicts that the global job impact will be neutral in the next several years due to enterprise adoption lags, implementation times and learning curves.
Furthermore, the Gartner survey said only 4 per cent of CIOs reported AI-augmented workers as a resource-producing technology work today.
