Thought Leadership Spotlight

11:50am-12:30pm The shift to the cloud has left many CIOs overwhelmed for a number of reasons: ecosystems are becoming more complex, and the decision of where to place your workloads – whether it’s a public, private, or hybrid environment – contributes to the challenge. Beyond that, CIOs have to think about performance, scalability, security, compliance, licensing requirements, disaster recovery… All while remaining within a strict budget. Join us for a panel discussion showcasing the benefits of a Multi-Cloud approach, and several best practices for ensuring your organization is running on the most ideal platform.

Charging Ahead: Speeding Up Transformation Through Disruption

Disruption alters, destroys, but also creates value. You realize the need to act once revenue starts to shift, which is happening at a faster pace than most would think. Disruption can be a great thing if you act upon it, but it's a threat if you watch idly. We will discuss how CIOs and CISOs can be proactive and act on disruption by figuring out how to identify, prioritize and respond.

Data Matters! Attaining Transformation Through Data & Analytics

If digital transformation is a journey, then data is the fuel that will transport your company from here to there. Comprehending and creating insight from data is transformational. Being able to gather and analyze data to generate a competitive edge, creates new opportunities, and promotes innovation. However, to support a pipeline of up-to-date and competitive modern data and analytics, a sound foundation and architecture must be constructed in order to deliver it.

CIO's Got Talent: Finding, Growing & Retaining the Best People

While new technology and solutions can help CIOs make more, faster and better decisions for an organization, nothing will take the place of a highly talented workforce. CIOs need to be great recruiters of talent but even more importantly growing the skills and capabilities of their team providing engaging and challenging opportunities for people. Competitive compensation is important for retaining great talent but so is a work environment where individual growth and development are front of mind and not an after thought.

Thought Leadership Spotlight

4:35pm-5:20pm

What's the Next Stop On the Transformation Journey?

We will summarize the learnings from the day and discuss the path forward for building an ongoing community of CIOs where common issues can be addressed and success stories can be shared.

Takeaways:

Building an ongoing community with your peers can be an invaluable resource for tackling the digital transformation projects ahead of you.
Sharing stories of success (and failures) is not reserved to a one-day CIO Summit, but should be shared on a regular basis with your peers.
