Furthermore, 72% of survey respondents believe that in order for senior IT executives to take the next step in their career, they need to invest in mentorship. By investing in their own mentorship, CIOs will round out the hard and soft skills they need to advance in their role and within their organization.

"In 2020, digital acuity is table stakes. It gets you a seat at the table, but alone, won't ensure long term success," said CEO of York Solutions Richard Walker. "Becoming a CIO who is driving technology-enabled business strategy, actively managing change, while building a collaborative team, takes leadership and know-how. And it takes outside support. Making a commitment to invest in a mentor and a professional development organization will pay dividends."
