CIO Peer Research: Information and insight from the people you trust most
- What works, what doesn’t – from real world practitioners
- Unbiased views from senior IT execs
- In depth reports based on dozens of interviews
- Customer-driven research agenda
CIO Peer Research is a premium research program from the TechExecs Network™. We capture real insights from interviews with CIOs and senior IT executives on how they deal with the critical issues facing their teams, their end users, and their companies.
Each CIO Peer Research report will deliver more of the insight you seek from your peers. Our study of 26 CIOs and senior IT execs reveals that you consider peers to be the best source of information on strategic direction, IT governance and management, and vendor appraisals. So those are our general areas of focus.
But our specific report topics will be generated by the CIOs and senior IT executives of TechExecs Network. Through ongoing dialog, we'll stay abreast of what matters most to IT execs of mid-market organizations. Then, in concert with our Research Advisory Board, CIO Peer Research will craft intelligent and probing research agendas to get answers to your most important questions.
Our first report, CIO Success Factors, has been completed and is available for purchase. It’s all about the factors that helped place aspiring IT executives in the C suite and the factors that helped them continue their winning streaks. The report is based on in depth interviews with 17 senior IT executives, 15 of whom head their companies IT departments. Click here to learn more.
And we’re always interested in hearing from you about what you’d like to see in future reports, so please drop us a line!

Features & Benefits
CIO Peer Research is in depth in three ways.
First, for every research project we’ll talk with up to two dozen senior IT execs to reflect a range of views and to gain some sense of a common view.
Second, though interviews are designed to be completed in much less time, many conversations last an hour or more. The CIOs we talk with are very engaged and genuinely want to share their experiences and insight.
Third, we go through hours of transcripts to unearth nuggets of wisdom, categorize responses, and discern patterns and connections.
We do depth because it's essential to quality, insight, and our very being; we don’t know how not to do depth!

Peers tend to instantly trust peers.
Your peers – other CIOs and senior IT executives – share the same basic perspectives as you on such important issues as strategy, governance and management, vendor relationships, and value add to your organizations.
Sure there are variances, but their basic views of the world and purposes in life mirror yours. This is unlike the perspectives of technology suppliers, solution providers, industry analysts, and many ad-supported publications.
That’s why peers trust peers and that’s one reason why CIO Peer Research bases its work only on the the input of other CIOs and senior IT executives.

CIOs and senior IT executives turn to their peers when they want the lowdown, the scoop, the skinny.
What works? What doesn't? Where are the hidden traps? And where are the unexpected benefits?
There are plenty of places CIOs can go to get theories and visions of what can be, but not so many places to get real world, down in the trenches experience.
