Sydney CIO Inner Circle

CIOs and CISOs find themselves in a challenging context of budget constraints and increasing demands from the organisation. This, combined with an ongoing pressure for greater efficiency, means that IT & security leaders must focus on transparency and communication across the C-suite to better exceed the outcomes from their digital technology investments and drive value. But with the ever-increasing complexity of digital business and AI innovation, scaling governance and enabling consistent ways of working can be tough to deliver.
