Track 1: Capitalizing on new influence - push through critical change and move from servant to enabler
For many CIO's they find themselves with increased influence and a new voice to push their agenda. For some it feels like not much has changed and they question why they do not enjoy newly fertile ground to plant important seeds within their organization?
Andy Anderson Enterprise Client Services Director, Toptal
Track 2: Opening the toolbox! - Experimenting with emerging capabilities to deliver competitive advantage
With increased budgets and willingness of boards to experiment, now may be the time to consider technologies that don’t just keep the lights on and create efficiencies but deliver competitive advantage?
