Vancouver, BC CIO Virtual Executive Summit

As we come upon the mid-point of 2021, what initiatives are you most proud of as a leader? What are your passion projects in your professional and personal lives? Top off your coffee and join this session to casually connect and celebrate the bright spots in a demanding career — and year.

As the ongoing rush to the cloud continues, many organizations falter because they equate “movement” with “strategy.” Getting the most out of your cloud journey doesn’t automatically follow from a corporate mandate or new vendor contract. Success is the product of clear communication of terms and expectations, alignment with other business processes and functions, and partnerships among multiple internal and external stakeholders.

This session puts strategy in the crosshairs and discusses:

• Creating definitional clarity for your comprehensive approach to cloud to eliminate ambiguity and crystalize the best processes for your organization
• Building adaptability into your strategy so it can be augmented or amplified at any step in the journey to address shifting business needs
• Breaking cloud strategy away from IT and creating cross-functional, business-wide alignment

Since today’s enterprise has access to endless amounts of data, CIOs and CISOs must continually find true meaning and value in the information. This peer-to-peer discussion will consider ways to mature your data and analytics program to provide accurate, actionable, real-time data.

Come ready to discuss how to:

• Implement data strategies that align with desired business outcomes
• Leverage data to gain greater insights and drive value
• Define clear data ownership and standardization

Unlike the CISO role of just a few years ago – where many could still focus heavily on the bits and bytes – today’s security leader is also expected to be a business leader. Uncover strategies with your peers to help you become fluent in the languages of risk, finance and strategy, and to effectively convey your message.

In this session we’ll discuss:

• How to educate your organization on cybersecurity so they become champions for security
• What the C-suite and the board really wants to hear from CISOs
• Which metrics will help you craft a compelling story that inspires action

• Effective DevOps strategies
• Successes in transforming your delivery model
• Challenges in driving DevOps in organizations

Join VP Future and Chief Innovation Officer Kal Ruberg and Director of Information Security Rob Labbé as they share how RACE21™, Teck Resources Limited’s innovation-driven efficiency program, is empowering employees and focusing on making real progress to raise the bar in 2021.
