Introducing Russell Reynolds Associates Digital Pulse

​​​​​

In 2014 Russell Reynolds Associates together with Forrester surveyed over 2,50​0 leaders across multiple industries and functions.  The results are the first annual Digital Pulse which reflects how organizations, industries and roles are changing due to the impact of Digital on those businesses.

Below you will find in-depth insight across 10 industries, plus a focus on the role of the CIO which is being significantly impacted by Digital. The highlights of the study include:

A Digital Barometer: A cross-sector look at the rate of digital disruption. The Media sector is the most disrupted while Industrial and Oil, Gas & Chemicals organizations are the least impacted

The Talent Gap under a microscope: Even in the most disrupted industries, over half of executives surveyed are unsure they have the right people to execute their Digital Strategy

The more disruption, the less the IT function is involved in Digital: Across the industries surveyed, those experiencing the greatest disruption report that their IT function has the least involvement in Digital.  In Media for example, the most disrupted industry, Digital is owned by the IT function in 2% of organizations surveyed
