Comments on: Does the CIO Control IT Spending? http://www.ciodashboard.com/it-management/does-cio-control-it-spending/ IT Strategies for CIOs and IT leaders Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:10:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Steve Romero, IT Governance Evangelist http://www.ciodashboard.com/it-management/does-cio-control-it-spending/comment-page-1/#comment-8923 Steve Romero, IT Governance Evangelist Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:43:58 +0000 http://www.ciodashboard.com/?p=1729#comment-8923 I would REALLY like the deep-dive analysis on this data. I was very encouraged by how much IT-spend is outside of the CIOs budget. Then I read your last statement, "I wonder if there are other indications here of an emerging trend to distribute more IT capability?" I didn't view the spend outside of the CIOs budget as an indication to distribute more IT capability. I surmised (and I admit I could be way off) that the spend outside of the IT budget was an indication that IT spend was coming out of business-unit budgets - representing business ownership for technology spend decisions. I did not assume this ownership meant the technology capability was provided outside of IT - just outside of the IT budget. I have always had a problem with "IT Budgets" because they foster the potential disconnect between technology investment and business value.
