DACH CIO Virtual Executive Summit

A CIO’s 2021 marching orders come straight from the top: In a Gartner survey, 7 out of 10 boards demanded digital acceleration in a disrupted global climate, while operational excellence through digital business topped the forward-driving agenda. How does your digital strategy measure up to the mission? Join your peers in an interactive session built around modern digital design. 

Among the key talking points:

• What it means to be ‘digital-first’ – breaking down roadblocks and navigating roadmaps

• What levers to pull to expand digital business and increase digital maturity

• How CIOs create credibility to drive the enterprise in a digital direction 

According to Gartner, the challenge for many IT and business leaders today is to instill a culture of data-driven decision making across the organization. Those who want to exploit the potential of new data and advanced analytics capabilities at scale typically face numerous challenges. As a CIO, it's critical to develop a strong, clear strategy connecting business, technology, and data and analytics to maintain your competitive advantage and mitigate these challenges.

In this session, CIOs will

• Discuss best practices for designing data and analytics programs

• Identify and define quick-win opportunities supporting the business data strategy

• Brainstorm technology and resource alignment 

In 2020, the multi-decade process of turning the digital enterprise inside out accelerated instantly. We’ve now passed an inflection point – most cyber assets live outside the old “walls” of the organization and cybersecurity controls must be scalable, flexible and reliable. How are CIOs partnering with CISOs to establish a security strategy that is an enabler of the digital business rather than an obstacle?

In this interactive session, you’ll discuss:

• Redesigning cybersecurity architecture to enable the work-from-anywhere culture

• Foundational technologies to support a global cybersecurity mesh 

• Reconceptualizing traditional ideas of how to approach security within the enterprise and shifting the business mindset
