Be ready to exchange views about:

  • Effectively leveraging data to articulate value and guide strategy for disparate stakeholders
  • Creating and communicating a governance model to capture instant, data-driven insight
  • Developing the right teams, talent, tools and processes to move your data/analytics program forward

For today’s CIO, a combination of business, technology and organizational transformation is required to fully capture the opportunities of digital.

Join this interactive session and share your perspectives on:

  • Applying process and leadership prior to moving forward with shiny-new technologies in the hype cycle
  • Organizing strategic governance from siloed sponsorship to capability “horizontals,” to capture value from the one-to-many capabilities of modern technology platforms
  • Being prepared to make hard decisions on your operating model, including examining talent requirements to enable the work to get done
  • Layering innovation into the core of how work is executed, instead of as a standalone function
