6 IT Wins to Deliver Before the Year Ends
CIO, Tuesday, October 13th, 2026
CIOs share the year-end priorities they're racing to finish, from keeping promises to aligning IT with next year's plans.
With Q4 underway, CIOs describe the wins they want before year end.
Adler Advisors' Robert Field says people remember what IT promised but didn't deliver, and that budgets, tax credits and performance reviews tie projects to the calendar year.
Kenco Group's Pal Narayanan wants to prove that new automation and robotics hold up through peak logistics season, with teams and vendors ready to scale.
Other advice includes using Q4 to strengthen business alignment, gather feedback from peers and show measurable value to secure funding for next year's projects.
