Every CIO starts out a year with a clear set of goal: things that we  want to get done because of the importance of information technology.  

However, and this year has been no exception, things have a habit of changing on us.  When these changes happen, CIOs are faced with two choices: make no  changes and hope for the best or adjust their plans to match the new set  of realities that they find themselves dealing with. 

With all of the  changes that CIOs have experienced this year, they had no choice but to  create a new set of priorities in order to make it through the year.
