Accenture co-founded the Swedish CIO Awards with CIO Sweden ten years ago, and we have been part of it each year since. The CIO plays a very important part in Swedish organizations. Over the years, the CIO role has developed, and today the demands are greater than ever. The CIO must be able to bridge the gap between business and IT, and needs to understand the business very well, to be able to contribute value and innovation to the organization.

This suits Accenture very well. We work closely with corporate leaders on large IT transformation projects that demand in-depth understanding of the business as well as how IT can contribute to and in many cases lead change. The CIO does not take a back seat – the CIO needs to be innovative and contribute ideas and solutions for IT to deliver value.
Accenture puts great importance on CIO Awards. Each year an Accenture team spends four months with the evaluation process, doing background analysis and conducting in-depth interviews with 25 people to find the right finalists. The quality of finalists is very important.
