A Call for Digital Leadership

Discover what digital leaders do to accelerate results

The 2022 CGI Voice of Our Clients presents the findings from our annual one-on-one interviews with nearly 1,700 executives across the industries and geographies we serve. This year 91% of clients report that they have a digital strategy in place. The number who say their organization is producing expected results from those strategies rose to 25%, up from 20% in 2021. Most digital leaders migrate more applications to the cloud and prioritize cybersecurity and automation. As a result, their organizations' financial performance outpaces their less-successful peers.

Attributes of digital leaders – behind the numbers

Common attributes emerge in examining insights from the 25% of digital leaders producing results for customers and citizens. What's the secret to success? They prioritize these 7 things:

And, they achieve better financial performance. 

Actionable insights to improve returns on your IT and business investments

Each year, we gather client views on the trends affecting their organizations and industries. Through CGI's Voice of Our Clients initiative, we analyze these findings to provide actionable insights by industry—based on facts, not hype—to benchmark best practices.

Our benchmarking data comes from a knowledge-base of 8,000 client conversations held in countries representing 68% of the world’s IT spend in all economic sectors. It comprises 1 million data points from our discussions with executives each year, of which 46% are business executives and 54% are IT executives.
