Who's Above Average?

CIOs at companies where the IT organization is considered a business peer or game-changer hold more responsibilities, earn higher salaries, and are more optimistic about the year ahead for their organizations, compared to CIOs not accorded the same esteem, according to this year's State of the CIO survey.
Perhaps the elite CIOs see something in the economic tea leaves that other CIOs don't. Or maybe their notably impressive stats make them feel more powerful and in control, no matter what the economy, politics or fickle customers may bring.
The survey found that highly regarded CIOs are more likely than CIOs in the rest of the survey to report to the CEO (60 percent vs. 38 percent), lead a non-IT area, such as security or customer service (68 percent vs. 57 percent), and enjoy proportionally bigger IT budgets (5.8 percent of revenue vs. 4.7 percent).
