About the Premier 100:
The Premier 100 was first created in 2000 to spotlight individuals who have had
a positive impact on their organization through technology. 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 nominees are invited to complete a survey that
addresses a number of topics, including their background and experience and
their attitude toward risk and innovation. Using Computerworld’s IT Leader Index
and using the data from the index, which is a measurement of how closely an
individual matches our definition of the IT Leader, we analyze the data. Each
year, 100 honorees are selected to receive this lifetime recognition award.
