SHEILA GRECO ASSOCIATES TODAY OFFICIALLY RELEASES ITS 2006-2007
WOMEN IN TECHNOLOGY STUDY
Amsterdam, New
York - June 6, 2007 - Sheila Greco Associates, LLC today
officially release its 2006-2007 Women In Technology Study.
Sheila Greco
Associates has been tracking women in technology since 1998,
and today released the 2006-2007 study. This year long study
continues Sheila Greco Associates LLC's annual review of
females in the IT workforce and more specifically, the female
IT executive. Highlights of the report include: an increase
in female CIO's (up 9% versus 7% in 2000) contrasted with
an over all leadership slip of 12%, a significant step back
to numbers last seen in 2002.Other study highlights include:
70% of women leaders have advanced degrees, and the average
female technology leader has been with the current company
for over nine years.
The study is
based on a comprehensive survey of information technology
professionals at 1075 North American Companies. These companies
represent public and pr ivate, with a vast majority of them
being listed in Fortune and Forbes.
"This research
is a little unsettling to me," states Sheila Greco,
President Sheila Greco Associates LLC, since I was hoping
that we would have seen an increase of women leaders as
opposed to a decrease. Now I want to know why! What are
the influencing factors? Fewer women entering the IT work
force? Fewer women pursuing IT degrees as they enter college?
As more companies continue to pursue diversification in
their executive ranks, tracking and projecting the potential
employee population will be critical. It is our hope that
through our continued efforts in this space, we will be
able to assist our clients with understanding what the market
will bear setting expectations for their hiring strategies."
