The reality for the CIOs in our study with @CIOWaterCooler is of course that they all matter, but to dramatically differing degrees. Come back tomorrow for more! 2/2

What should #CIOs take most account of when they assess a supplier's #ESG credentials? Which matters most - public statements, third-party validation, #sustainability, #inclusion & #equality, #recycling or any of many other ESG factors? 1/2

No longer the yawn-inducing🥱 thing it might once have been, modern #AssetManagement can boost #security & #service quality and cut 💰costs. It's time to see what's new with #ITAM and #SAM - read more on our #FreeformComment blog... freeformdynamics.pulse.ly/6s…

Worried about the epidemic of #AI #hype & about top execs - who should know better! - getting carried away by #FOMO? You're not alone, writes @bryan_gb freeformdynamics.pulse.ly/ch…

How do supplier #sustainability credentials affect the buying process? 💸 Do #ESG & #CSR mean something or are they just tick-box items? When we asked #CIOs how they consider ESG, CSR and/or sustainability, three out of four said yes, they impact buying decisions.🌳 1/2

#CIOs are also still working out what they want from #suppliers🚚 in #sustainability terms, why and in what order. Look for all this to settle out soon though, as the focus🧐 on #ESG continues to sharpen. 2/3

As promised, today we bring you the conclusion of our recent #CIO🧑‍💻 #ESG & #sustainability study. It's clear this is still an area in transition. The CIOs in our research with @CIOWaterCooler know that sustainability🌳 matters, but it's not yet a primary factor for most. 1/3

If you think there's too much "AI-washing" going on, you are not alone! In a recent #CIO survey, the vast majority of those taking part said that most of the vendors they deal with claim some sort of #AI capability. But how real are those claims?🤔

Yes, #AI-washing is widespread, and whether it's deliberate or someone who means well getting carried away, it's unhelpful. So how do CIOs react to this exaggeration? Find out here tomorrow...

Vendors are rushing to add AI to their products, but just 20% of #CIOs in our recent @CIOWaterCooler survey said they often see *genuinely* #AI-enabled solutions. Meanwhile, 88% said vendor claims for AI capability are often significantly exaggerated! Can this be true? 😂

As a result, instead of being forgiving, the CIOs in our survey with @CIOWaterCooler were more likely to show the supplier the door🚪or -perhaps worse- wonder where else they were being misleading.🤡 Ouch!

In our survey with @CIOWaterCooler, CIOs said AI assertions made them wary & more likely to worry about #DueDiligence: Is AI enablement #enterprise-ready, does it do what it claims - and is it sufficiently better than what we have now to justify the change & cost?🧐
