Capital One was one of the first enterprises to understand the potential of the public cloud. To help accelerate their cloud adoption, Capital One invested in a talent transformation program that enabled cloud fluency across their entire organization. “We have a strategic imperative for a pretty dramatic transformation of our technology capabilities as a company. And this is a transition from being a company with an IT organization or an IT shop to really being a technology-led company. The hardest part of that transition is really a talent transformation.”  Rob Alexander, CIO at Capital One

• Build cloud fluency at scale among leadership and learners
• Measure cloud adoption across the enterprise
• Increase employee training engagement

Faced with demands for modernization, cost optimization and digital business transformation, CIOs are looking at how data and analytics programs can support expanding their digital business and increasing their D&A maturity. After a D&A strategy is set, IT leaders must execute and deliver on the intended business outcomes.

Join your peers in discussing:

• Approaches to leveraging technology and resources to support D&A program and improve business outcomes
• Best practices for building out new business process and executing change management across the enterprise
• Management of cultural shifts in the organization

As a CIO, it is crucial to enable the digital agenda while connecting technology with business value. During these disruptive times, organizations can leverage digital offerings to alleviate impacts on operations and business performance.

In this virtual boardroom discussion, CIOs will discuss:

• How to reprioritize digital projects to meet new needs
• Strategies to communicate value to your board/senior leadership
• New and existing partnerships to push objectives forward

Keeping pace with business demands requires IT to embrace transformation. Poor user experience, slowed M&A value, expanded security concerns, and IT misalignment with business goals prevent top enterprises from obtaining agility and resiliency. As last year demonstrated, legacy systems don’t react quickly or scale to accommodate rapid change. It’s imperative that CIOs focus on removing the legacy infrastructure that slows IT transformation and impedes business growth.

Join this session to discuss:

• Providing corporate access to any user on any device from any location
• Promoting alignment between IT objectives and business initiatives
• Deploying cloud technology that accelerates enterprise scaling and agility strategies
