About the Event
Focused on the issues that are critical to the business leadership role that CIOs must play today, being the CIO is much more than just managing technology.
In many ways the challenges facing CIOs today have never been greater.
There’s no doubt over the critical importance of technology and that gives rise to two scenarios –
1. Business leaders assume more control over IT with COOs and CFOs getting oversight.
OR
2. CIOs step up and take on true C-level leadership roles
With consumerization and cloud computing, IT is no longer the sole body that determines the adoption and usage of technology. With business leaders and users demanding access to cloud services plus rank and file staff demanding mobile access to all corporate data. How can IT leaders put in effective governance in a world of consumerization and shifting tech landscape.
The hunger to innovate and to be faster and better than competitors is as great as ever – with increasing expectation on IT to decipher how best to use emerging technologies and deliver new ways of doing things.
