Signal Prioritizing and planning technology investment is the most centralized activity at 78 percent

Summary

KPMG examined which technology-related activities organizations keep centralized within the IT function or in a federated model led by IT. Prioritizing and planning technology investment is among the most centralized, at 78 percent of respondents. Selecting new technologies and suppliers and defining technology talent strategy show similar levels. The least centralized activity is defining the vision and ambition for technology across the organization, though close to two thirds, 64 percent, still handle it centrally. The report treats selective centralization as a way to improve alignment, while noting that a hybrid approach may suit different decisions.
