AI is changing everything, including IT leaders’ to-do lists. Nearly every team across the modern enterprise—from HR to public relations to customer service to engineering—is using AI to get work done, according to recent ServiceNow research on the changing role of IT leadership in the AI era.
As a result, IT leaders have been propelled to center stage. Chief information officers, chief technology officers, and other tech leaders are now responsible for a vast range of tasks, some of which are far outside the traditional purview of IT. While some executives are seizing the moment to become “chief everything officers,” others are scrambling to figure out how to prioritize and delegate.

IT experiences regular waves of innovation, most recently with generative AI. Meanwhile, IT’s core imperatives remain constant. Year after year, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) research consistently ranks reducing the frequency, duration, and impact of incidents and outages as the top operational objective for IT. That goal holds true for organizations of all sizes across industries globally.
The best-case scenario is to predict and prevent outages before they happen. When directly asked, “If you could choose one thing to do really well, what would have the biggest positive impact?” 43% of IT leaders chose “proactive response to incidents before they impact users,” according to a global EMA survey.
The next best scenario is to significantly reduce MTTR,1 regardless of whether the “R” stands for “repair,” “respond,” “restore,” or “revive.” That effort begins with identifying and attacking the most significant influencers on time, the first “T” in MTTR.
