The CIO Executive Summit agendas are driven by the mission-critical priorities identified among the community. Each agenda is uniquely crafted By CIOs, For CIOs®, and will be available closer to the gathering. All topics and sessions will be inspired by the following themes.
Modernizing The IT Operating Model to Enable Business Agility
CIOs are increasingly focused on maturing IT operating models to align with business ambitions and provide decision flexibility in an ever-changing environment. The rapid pace of change and external pressures on the business compel the CIO to act decisively.
Connecting IT Investments to Business Outcomes Through Strategic Alignment
Economic uncertainty and the drive for cost optimization in the name of transformation are pushing CFOs to challenge IT budgets. In response, CIOs must engage with business leaders comprehensively on everything from outcome-driven metrics to stakeholder engagement strategies.
Enhancing Leadership Capabilities to Build a Culture Rooted in Trust and Accountability
Adaptability in the face of change requires high performing teams. Today’s CIOs are juggling storytelling to the board and persuading peers, inspiring teams on the verge of burnout, and preserving their own wellbeing.
