Faced with an increasingly volatile corporate environment, organisations are experiencing a set of business challenges that seem to be in direct competition to ICT challenges. Corporate CIOs are expected to handle more data, produce innovative solutions to management requirements and adapt to increasingly tech savvy and complex customers. At the same time they have to deal with expensive legacy systems, compete in a shallow pool for the best available talent and work with budgets that do not increase as quickly as the requirements. So how does a CIO deal with these conflicting realities, and how is technology enabling the most forward thinking to achieve this? Join us at the CIO Conference 2014 to discuss the issues affecting CIOs today.
Topics include:
- Big Data & Analytics: Gain insights into your organisation and customers by the effective use data
- Mobility & BYOD: The consumerisation of IT is driving mobile devices into the workplace
- Cloud Computing:It’s here to stay, but how can you get the best out of what is available?
- Information Management & Security: You’ve got it, they want! Secure your information while making it easier to find, share and collaborate on
- The Business of IT: The role of the CIO has changed, learn how to manage talent, drive innovation and increase efficiency
Event highlights:
13th Annual CIO Awards
The landmark conference in Singapore will highlight the five CIO Award winners from the most outstanding organisations in the CIO 100 index –the prestigious annual listing of Asia’s top IT projects for the past year.
The Great Debate
This has proven to be a “signature” yet informative and entertaining feature of CIO Asia’s annual event. The debating teams will argue either side of this point of view – moderated by a host on stage — and the audience will be encouraged to express their views for the benefit of all.
Debate proposition:
“Can LOB managers take the place of a CIO?”
Executive Networking Tables
The CIO Conference 2014 showcases a new format this year. The Executive Networking Table (ENT) format ensures that delegates are able to have in depth discussions with the experts leading the discussions and their peers taking part in the conference. ENTs are hosted by an industry leader who will provide the business perspective, and a technology expert who will provide a perspective with references from successful implementations.
The ENT topics will cover three key themes of Business, Technology and Leadership. Each journey will be dedicated to one of these themes:
- Information Management
- High Productivity Cloud
- Efficiency: Optimising Data Center Infrastructure
- Mobility & BYOD
- Big Data
- Improve Business Agility and Competitiveness through Managed Cloud Services
- Virtualisation
- Security
Beyond their roles as process transformation enablers and IT function heads, CIOs must become business strategists. Business Strategist is one archetype that characterise IT leaders, based on their primary focus, staff expertise and their prevailing relationship with stakeholders. They deliver distinct value to the enterprise and leverage unique leadership competencies.
- Next Generation Managed Services
- The Modern CIO
- Business Transformation
- Innovating for a Collaborative Future Workspace
