In my opinion, the decline of the position of chief information officer (CIO) is much exaggerated (CIO demotion will entrench failure, Letters blog, letters.computing.co.uk).

Our research shows that the number of CIOs reporting to chief executives is steady at 41 per cent and that more CIOs report to chief executives than any other position. I would be interested in any feedback you or your readers may have.
