In this episode of CIO Power Politics, Gartner analyst Tina Nunno shares strategic questions for CIOs dealing with multiple urgent projects.

Tina Nunno, vice president and Gartner fellow, shares her insights and advice from hundreds of client interactions to defuse urgency in the situation and avoid escalation.
