Survey Objective
The 2021 Gartner CIO Survey was conducted to inform CIOs on how to prosper in the post-COVID-19
world.
Data Insights
China was the first country massively hit by COVID-19. Enterprises were forced to accelerate the digital
business, for example, by using digital channels to reach customers. The early strict lockdowns
controlled the virus from outbreak. While most of the world is still struggling with the COVID-19
pandemic, China is showing a strong economic rebound. The National Bureau of Statistics of China
reported GDP in China was up by 4.9% for the third quarter of 2020, and economic growth of the first
three quarters shifted from negative to positive.
The Gartner 2021 CIO Survey confirms that Chinese enterprises are accelerating digital business. It also
shows Chinese CIOs used the COVID-19 crisis as an opportunity to demonstrate the technology’s
contribution to the business, and strengthen their relationships with CEOs and other business leaders.
COVID-19 Impact on Business Metrics
During the pandemic, leading enterprises saw this as an opportunity to innovate their business and
operating models to remain competitive. In Lessons From China: Business Model Resilience in the
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak, Gartner introduces some examples on how leading enterprises from
China innovate their business model to deal with the pandemic.
Survey result shows 45% of Chinese enterprises say their performance compared with their competitors
is ahead where it otherwise would have been had COVID-19 not become a global pandemic (see Figure
1). This number is much less compared to the global top performers (which is 100%), but it is
encouraging (see Note 1). It shows COVID-19 did not destroy enterprises; on the contrary, it was a
performance catalyst for many organizations.
