CIOs face challenges as executives and as the heads of IT. Join us for the Gartner Opening Keynote in which we'll focus on helping CIOs produce material returns and drive value throughout their organization.

Executive leaders' duties have become increasingly interconnected, communal and overlapping, making problem-solving more difficult and increasing time spent in ELT positions rather than functional leadership roles. Executive leaders need a distinct set of skills and abilities to prosper as ELT members of a digital organization, and new executives might need to be hired. In this session, we will look at the skills and abilities required to succeed as an ELT member of the new digital organization.

At work, difficult people exist; they may make everything about themselves, obsess over details and assume you are out to get them.

In this session, we'll look at how to spot a difficult personality and what to do about it to prevent a disruptive confrontation.
