Enhance Stakeholder Management Skills to Position Yourself as a High-Impact CIO

As technology’s influence on business outcomes grows, so do the expectations placed on chief information officers (CIOs) to drive strategic success. Yet, achieving today’s ambitious business goals requires more than just IT leadership—it demands true co-leadership across the C-suite. CIOs must deeply understand and effectively manage key stakeholders to unlock maximum value and deliver transformative results. According to the Gartner 2025 CIO and Technology Executive Survey, only 48% of digital initiatives on average achieve their business outcome targets. However, a select group of CIOs and CxOs are outperforming, with over 71% of their digital initiatives meeting or exceeding expectations. Their secret? Building strong, aligned partnerships across the executive team to co-lead digital transformation.
