In the digital-first world, technology isn't just a supporting function, but a vital player in an organisation's success. This survey of thousands of executives and technology professionals examines the status, future, and risks of IT and technology use, specifically in large and enterprise-sized organisations in Indonesia and across the globe.
We surveyed 3,300 professionals worldwide working in IT and other business functions. In Indonesia, 150 decision-makers across IT and other key business functions were surveyed from a range of private sector organisations. We've divided them into two broad categories: IT decision-makers (ITDMs) and business decision-makers (BDMs).
ITDMs
BDMs
of BDMs in Indonesia say their department is collaborating with their organisation's IT department all of the time. This is higher than the global average of 42%.
of all decision-makers in Indonesia believe that their organisation's IT department and C-suite work together fairly or extremely well.
of the decision-makers say that their IT department plays a critical role in implementing their organisation's sustainability policy. This is higher than the global average of 37%.
of decision-makers agree that IT could drive greater innovation if it had a stronger leadership position.
of the Indonesian ITDMs say their organisation has successfully decentralised its IT structure, higher than the global average of 64%.
of ITDMs say their organisations are currently attempting decentralisation of their IT.
ITDMs in Indonesia report that even non-IT departments are creating their own applications by leveraging low-code or no-code platforms. This adoption is notably led by the Sales, DevOps, and the Legal/Privacy teams.

Though most organisations in Indonesia have decentralised their IT functions or are in the process of implementing
decentralisation, the process is still not without its challenges.
Challenges ITDMs are facing due to the decentralisation of
their organisation's IT infrastructure:
Based on the responses of ITDMs in Indonesia
Even as the role of technology teams becomes more important, organisations are at risk of
losing tech talent, survey results indicate.
of the ITDMs in Indonesia say they weren't adequately consulted on the adoption of flexible working models compared to 32% globally.
of Indonesian ITDMs claim that their organisation should have supported them more in the last two years.
of the ITDMs in Indonesia say they are more concerned about losing their jobs than they were six months ago.
of the ITDMs are feeling less loyal to their employers then they did two years ago.
of them are even actively looking for a
new job—this is higher than the global average of 48%.
of ITDMs are now more willing to make a risky career move than they were two years ago. In comparison, the global average is at 65%.
Organisations in Indonesia are seeing higher cross-functional collaboration with their IT departments, paving path to the democratisation of technology. In many organisations, non-IT departments are now handling some of their technology requirements by building their own applications using low-code or no-code platforms.
Though IT teams are garnering greater importance, the future of IT in organisations is becoming rather uncertain. Organisations are increasingly at the risk of losing their tech leaders, who are feeling neglected and concerned about their jobs. Organisations should assess and address the concerns of their tech leaders to avoid losing their valued talent.
