HIMSS Analytics researching IT Governance and Leadership

This looks to be a good sign!

Scottsdale Institute (SI), Lawson Software and HIMSS Analytics have joined forces to conduct the industry's first definitive study on IT Leadership and Governance Practices, which is underwritten by Lawson. HIMSS Analytics will prepare the report of findings for review and discussion at the SI Spring Conference. The goal of the survey is to help you compare practices with others and identify ideas that may help increase the value of IT-enabled clinical and business initiatives. HIMSS Analytics will
collect information from members of senior leadership teams regarding issues such as:

-What models of IT governance and reporting are being utilized? What are some of the successful practices?
-Who is responsible for driving value from IT?
-What is the role of the CEO in IT decision making?
-What involvement does the board have in IT?
-What are the top two factors for IT success?
-Where is the industry on the "clinical transformation" curve?

I'm very interested in the result of this survey. Hopefully it will have enlightening outcomes.
