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.
Organisations are digitising business processes, often including entire core capabilities. Managing the resulting information and being able to maximise its value will be the key differentiator for the intelligent and connected enterprise.
Today’s CIO needs to be a digital innovator, cultural champion and business leader. CIOs have the opportunity to step forward and create 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 round-table discussions, we’ll explore:
- How to be more than a tech leader
- Why culture should be top of the CIO’s agenda
- Driving innovation: How can the CIO redefine what’s possible for an enterprise?
