I believe the CIO role will be relevant in 2015, but that assumes the CIO's have transformed the focus of the role to bridge the gap between business and technology (http://mjdmanagementgroup.com/blog1/2010/01/23/bridging-gap-business-technology/). Further the key is to transform the CIO role from both the viewpoint and the perceived value or utility of IT in the organization into an asset from an expense. The CIO will be viewed as the business that leads technology.
The CIO will have embed IT components into the overall business strategy, as well as the strategies of their various business functions and focus on business value generated by IT spend and ROI. The CIO role will be more business level strategy and financially focused than it ever has been. The other aspect that I believe will change, will be the face of the IT infrastructure as the movement will be out of the glass house and towards the cloud.
