Our special Gulf region offering of Gartner CIO Academy is produced in collaboration with Saïd Business School, and channels the strengths, resources and values of two global thought leaders into one cutting-edge business education programme.

Special Guest Speaker
His Excellency Rashed Al Mansoori, Chairman of ADSIC will be a featured speaker at CIO Academy. Abu Dhabi Systems & Information Centre (ADSIC) was created to develop, drive and support various initiatives within the Abu Dhabi Government to transform government services and establish a modern, efficient and citizen-centric e-Government platform to match the best in the world.

This unique professional development programme is for the most senior person in the organization who holds ultimate responsibility for IT and enables participants to navigate the changing demands of the top IT job.

  • An enriched agenda based on your most critical challenges
  • Deliver more value to your organization as a thought leader and pro-active contributor
  • Actionable frameworks for successful portfolio management, strengthening relationships with your CEO and business leadership team, and maximising your overall effectiveness as a CIO
  • Focus on strategic business, technology and career concerns, away from everyday distractions
  • Acquire actionable methods to overcome critical challenges and achieve organizational objectives
  • Networking with a select group of fellow CIOs in a refined and structured environment designed to promote top level discourse, strategic thinking, reflection and goal setting

CIO Academy is a unique programme which combines the insight and experience of the world’s largest IT executive community with the academic rigour of a world renowned university. Group sizes are small and exclusively made up of the most senior level IT executives, for truly valuable debate and experience sharing. This is an intensive and interactive learning experience specifically for CIOs, rather than larger and less-focused symposia, to ensure that you gain the most relevant input for your position.
