Hey, that's my line! :)
I learn from the best!
Optimizing costs is something ever department does, it's not what is "most important", except for emergency circumstances.
On the other hand, supporting digital initiatives should be well accepted now as critical to the future of the company.
A caveat:
"Optimizing costs" across the enterprise can have more importance as a focus area, especially in times of serious budget constraints. However, optimizing costs in IT is and should be a table stakes activity, but not job one.
Agree with you Mark, but unfortunately that is the reality in all too many organizations.
Typical of most orgs to see short term gain by optimizing the budget vs. seeing the longer picture of your ROI being 10X if you invest in digital initiatives (not to mention that if you don't your chances of going the way of the dodo bird rise accordingly). I think the poll results were fairly reflective of what most responders are seeing in their orgs unfortunately.
Agree with Mark and Martin. First place anyone goes is bottom line and what can you do for me now vs what is best for me in the future.
