In a business environment long driven by technology, once-refreshing ideas like “disruption,” “transformation” and “innovation” have begun to take on the drone of buzzwords. While these concepts show up everywhere, they still hold great meaning for the organizations and leaders able to embrace them. In this dinner conversation, you and your CIO peers will reclaim the future of enterprise IT strategy from jargon peddlers. You’ll examine the real-world impact of emerging technologies, the necessity of rapid change and the practical approaches to fostering innovation. Come prepared to share successes, ask questions and re-imagine leadership for tomorrow’s tech-driven enterprise.
