Some of the sources I interviewed for my article on job opportunities and challenges for IT leaders in 2008 (titled, 2008: The Year Only Strong IT Leaderes Survive) named the CIOs they'll be watching in the new year. Some of the names are familiar. Others are new. Among them:

GM's Ralph Szygenda. The GM CIO has been in his position such a long time and set such a new precedent for outsourcing in 2006 that Hios wants to see what's on Szygenda's docket for 2008.
