The role of the CIO has never been more demanding than it is today.
Business environments change ever more quickly and some days the technology change curve is so steep it appears to be vertical.
And all of this happens against a background where the constant demand to do more with less is so common it’s become a standard operating procedure.

The successful CIO has to be part-business leader, part-technology visionary and full-time Shaman, with the ability to walk on water a handy addition to any CV.

Today’s CIO must be comfortable presenting to the management team or board on strategic topics, yet equally capable of handling staff
management issues or evaluating the latest in vendor claims. All while maintaining day-to-day operations with an infrastructure that may well be groaning at the seams.

But you are not alone in facing these challenges. Each year the CIO Meeting forum offers you a brief haven, a respite where you can network with your peers, compare notes and experiences – and learn from some of the best in the business.

As a CIO you occupy a pivotal role within your organisation, always focused on the needs of those around you.
At this Forum – it’s your turn to be the centre of attention and get the tools, the knowledge and the peer group support you
need to re-charge you for the year ahead.

SESSIONS INCLUDE:

Guiding your Organization through a Merger or Acquisition

A merger or acquisition continues to be an effective tool for strategic growth in many industries. Even if you aren’t involved in a merger or acquisition right now, there’s a good chance you will be in the near future. Now’s the time to hone the most relevant skills, and compare notes with other CIOs on the most critical actions and unique value CIOs bring to the M&A process.

This interactive session will focus on the experiences of CIOs who have been through a merger and/or acquisition from one or more perspectives (i.e. acquiring or being acquired). An open discussion will follow.
 
Managing Career Moves

A CIO’s motivation for a career move ranges from deep frustration to golden opportunity. Whatever the motivation, managing a move well is critical to your career growth and sustained success.  In this session we will highlight research from The CIO Executive Council on critical priorities and best (and worst) practices for the CIO’s first 90 days in a new job. We’ll also get perspectives on career moves from attending CIOs, and invite your participation in round-table discussions on moving up or down in company size, between public and private sector and across industries.
