LONDON, Nov. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- IT leaders feel they now have a seat at the table in terms of business decision-making but their ability to drive business agility could be short-lived, according to a new study from Appian (Nasdaq: APPN).

  • This could have damaging implications for business growth and technological transformation at a time when agility and new ideas should be encouraged.
