IT Spending Forecast, 3Q21 Update: Help Employees and Customers Stay Connected EDT: 11:00 a.m. | BST: 16:00
The COVID pandemic caused a contrary trend of pushing companies outside of their comfort zone while lockdowns forced people to stay in the comfort of their homes. Companies that had, prior to COVID, eschewed even the possibility of work from home (WFH) were forced to embrace it in a matter of weeks, and individuals increasingly worked and shopped remotely. As we move toward 2022, more companies aim to empower employees to work wherever they wish to choose and to engage with customers whenever and however they prefer. Join this complimentary webinar to find out how this change to “anywhere and everywhere all the time” will result in increased spending in new technologies, often by new sources in the enterprise.

Build the Digital Dexterity of Enterprise Leaders EDT: 10:00 a.m. | BST: 15:00
Accelerating digital business transformation requires high levels of digital dexterity, as enterprise leaders take a greater role in managing technology in their own business areas. Digital dexterity encompasses the ambition and ability to work digitally and build digital businesses. CIOs must shift their focus to help their colleagues develop high digital dexterity across the C-suite. This complimentary webinar will help CIOs move from educating to enabling leaders across the enterprise, pressing business leaders to acknowledge their own gaps with “digital humility” and show rising leaders new approaches to identify digital opportunities.
