Bangalore: The role of CIO has just turned out from a walk in the park to a competitive role which involves social strategies, mobility and security as well. But still with all these responsibilities, CIOs are making a number of mistakes that costs their job and even damage the productivity of the firm.

So what are the biggest blunders that CIOs make? Here’s a list that may give you an answer.

The first and foremost mistake that a CIO make is in his unclear view on the future of the product or the company. Most of the inexperienced CIOs don’t have a clear cut image about the advancement of their current technology. Reports say that in 1980, the overall spending in technology was about 700 million dollars but now by 2012 the numbers have increased to a massive 5 trillion dollars. But if you are comparing with the GDP, you be simply surprised to see the fact that the overall GDP has barely doubled.
