Lies, damn lies and statistics

These CIO surveys are great. They tell you what people are planning to do. The major problem is that they don't tell you why.

Of course non-urgent projects are going to get stalled if the company itself is in the poo. And right now that's a lot of companies.

Anyone reading these surveys and thinking 'Golly, Example Corporation is cutting its budgets so we had better' is an idiot.
