These are individuals who manage internal IT organizations, mentor and motivate their It teams and business colleagues, create a positive work environment, envision innovative solutions to business challenges and effectively manage and execute IT strategies. Each year, Computerworld invites its readers to nominate IT professionals they consider Premier IT Leaders. In June, the nominated candidates are asked to answer a survey that addresses a number of topics, including their background and experience, management style, the work environment they create and their attitude toward risk and innovation. Also, the survey asks about their technology testing and implementation philosophy, the size of their IT organization in terms of the number of internal users they support, headcount and IT budget responsibilities. Using Computerworld's IT Leader Index, which is a measurement of how closely an individual matches our definition of the IT Leader, we analyze the data. Quantitative data is scored separately and given equal weight. Our final list (to be announced in December) represents the IT professionals in whom the characteristics of the Premier IT Leader are most strongly represented.  Premier 100 IT Leaders Our annual awards program honors the people driving strategy and innovation in the country's leading IT departments. Read how they built their careers from the ground up, developed must-have leadership skills and now conquer daily challenges at the top. Past Surveys: Premier
