How the 2016 Premier 100 were chosen
Using Computerworld’s Tech Leader Index, which measures how closely an individual matches our definition of a tech leader, a panel of Computerworld editors and Premier 100 alumni judges evaluated the completed questionnaires, and the final list was chosen. Judges reviewed only those nominees who work in industries other than their own.
We define a tech leader as someone who guides the effective use of information technology to improve his organization’s business performance. Our definition of a tech leader also includes the following characteristics:
• Promotes a technology vision that supports the company strategy.
• Identifies strategic opportunities provided by IT.
