Well, we made it: We survived an unpredictable, whirlwind of a year and CIO Dive grew to keep up with the changing IT trends.
The pandemic and mass shift to remote work marked all trends and predictions CIO Dive made going into 2020 null and void by March. The Top Trends of 2020 showcase the resilience of IT leadership when crisis hit.
CIOs became the star of the C-suite, leading business units as change agents during times of disruption and reimagining technology priorities for companies to fit the new virtual workplace.
Under pressure, IT departments rushed to the cloud, making mistakes along the way only to fix them in the aftermath.
And who can forget the burnout? The novelty of video conferencing quickly wore off as industry reverted back to good, old-fashioned email and considered how long we could sustain "the new normal."

Katie Malone Associate Editor, CIO Dive and Cybersecurity Dive Twitter | LinkedIn | Email Deep Dive The pandemic overhauled technology priorities for 2020, accelerating migration, freezing innovation and flattening previously forecast growth. It leaves businesses with little recourse, yet certain technologies are imperative. | The CIO will emerge from the pandemic with greater clout in the C-suite, viewed as a potential change agent who can deliver talent and tools needed to operate. | As the novel coronavirus pandemic has sent employees home en masse, organizations have changed where they work, but not how they work. Consider this, did you really need to meet? | Column Success is hard to come by without mechanisms for accountability and clear expectations, even amid a globe-spanning virus outbreak. | Transitions haven't all been perfect, especially if an enterprise prioritized being able to function over cost. | CIOs are choosing tools that make employees productive and uphold company culture in a dispersed workforce. | In a scarce AI talent market, vendors target startups to grow AI skills and solutions in their workforce. | | |
