CIO and IT Leaders Summit
September 25, 2019, Aviva Stadium
Capture the opportunity to drive business change: The CIO as innovator, business leader and cultural champion
Introduction
Few things have the power to transform our world as rapidly and radically as digital technology.
Today’s CIO needs to be a digital innovator, cultural champion and business leader creating direction for the business and its digital ambitions. Indeed, today’s CEO will be looking to their CIO to do just that. Advances in digital transformation, machine learning, artificial intelligence and data analytics offer the chance for CIOs to play that central role in driving business growth and value. But, the CIO also needs to balance the risks and rewards of digital innovation.
Building on the success of our past events, The Business Post’s 2019 CIO Summit will explore how to drive business value through digital innovation and transformation, discuss the challenges facing CIOs, and to learn best practices. Using case studies and expert viewpoint, delegates will gain insights into strategies they can use to drive business value and create competitive advantage.
TOPICS
Through expert presentations, case studies, panel and roundtable discussions, we’ll explore:
- Building strategies in a digital world: The issues CIOs face in developing strategy and getting buy-in for their plans in the fast-paced and uncertain digital era
- Why CIOs need to craft a culture that supports ongoing change
- How the CIO can drive innovation in a traditional business
- What it takes to produce great teams and teamwork
Conference streams on:
