GARTNER: 10 CIO
RESOLUTIONS
FOR 2020
Mark Raskino, Distinguished VP Analyst, Gartner, talks us
through how to tackle professional development in 2020.
J
anuary is a popular time for resolutions.
Work out twice a week. Read more
books. Try 100 different fruits and
vegetables. But what should be on a CIO’s
list? Professional resolutions aren’t that
different from personal ones. Look for ways
to reduce waste (both time and resources)
and develop skills in new areas.
“CIOs should not drift through 2020 without
hacking their performance – to strengthen
capabilities in leadership, culture and
people,” said Mark Raskino, Distinguished VP
Analyst, Gartner.
Gartner created a list of 10 New Year’s
resolution ideas for 2020 to help you grow
through the year. Select two or three to focus

on to help develop your digital dexterity and
evolve personal abilities. The 10 resolutions
are divided into three groups (plus one
perennial resolution):
• Clean up: Focus on cleaning up and
clearing out bad habits or behaviours
• Power up: Work on increasing your power
and that of your team
• Skill up: Develop new skills and learn
new things
“CIOs need new global perspectives and
to open up to new voices. They must be
creative to find solutions to the complex
and volatile situations they will be thrown
into,” said Mary Mesaglio, Distinguished VP
Analyst, Gartner.
“
THOUGH
OFTEN WELL-
INTENTIONED,
THE REALITY OF
MEETINGS IS THAT
THEY ARE OFTEN
UNPRODUCTIVE
OR POINTLESS.
