C-Level Business Executives Are Playing A Bigger Role In Tech Spending, But CIOs Still Remain Dominant
Tech buying in business and governments is clearly shifting from the sole or primary control of the CIO and the tech management organization and into the hands of business leaders. But how much is this happening? Anecdotal comments and surveys – including Forrester’s own Business Technographics surveys – suggest that most tech purchases are now controlled by business executives. However, in our just-published report, “C-Suite Tech Purchasing Patterns,” Forrester’s analysis shows that the shift of tech buying from the CIO to business executives is much less dramatic, with just 5% of all new tech purchases fully controlled by business by 2018. Moreover, this shift varies dramatically by C-level executive. CMOs and eCommerce heads have the highest proportion of new project spending under their control, but CFOs, COOs, supply chain heads, and heads of customer service are much less likely to go it on their own.

The CEO of a multimillion-dollar company explains how he’s able to stay in top shape while running a media empire
Gary Vaynerchuk doesn’t eat during the day.
In an episode of Business Insider’s podcast “Success! How I Did It,” the CEO of multimillion-dollar company VaynerMedia told Alyson Shontell, Business Insider US editor in chief, that he doesn’t get hungry.
“I eat at night,” he said.
Vaynerchuk has figured out a system — for eating, exercising, and sleeping — that works congruently with the demands of running a $125 million company, raising a family, and maintaining a high quality of life.
It wasn’t always this way — and it didn’t come easily.
“A year and a half ago, I was eating like crap, not working out, and generally feeling awful,” he wrote on his website in 2016. “It was a tough life, and I realized quickly that I couldn’t sustain a life like that. It was impossible. So I hired a trainer to force me to be better. I made an enormous lifestyle shift, and I am so happy I did.”
That trainer was Mike Vacanti, who, if you’re interested, has posted the custom workout plan he used with Vaynerchuk online.
Being an entrepreneur had always been second-nature to Vaynerchuk; being healthy was a far greater challenge for him.
“Health was the first thing I encountered in my life that didn’t come naturally to me,” he wrote for Greatist. “And that was a very hard pill to swallow.”
He’s able to fit it all in without compromising on shut-eye — he isn’t one of the fabled four-hour-a-night sleepers.
“Give me six or seven hours,” he told Shontell. “Give me 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. every day, then I work out and then I work. I also take seven weeks of vacation with my family. It’s extremism on my work-life balance. But I’m getting a lot done.”
“That’s something to aspire to,” Shontell commented.
“It’s something to aspire to if it makes you happy,” Vaynerchuk replied. “It’s not to aspire to to make money. I can tell you that right now. You can make ungodly amounts of money working 9 to 5, or 8 to 2 on Wall Street. It’s not about the money. The thing to aspire to that I think I’m a blueprint of is, forget about people knowing who I am or how much or little I make in my life. I’m happy every day.”
