Technology work, once the sole purview of dedicated IT shops, has become democratized. Unfortunately, many CIOs are still wedded to traditional divisions, ways of working and task-specializations that are no longer effective. This meeting will help CIOs navigate the journey toward a new technology model for the enterprise.
Questions this meeting will address:
• How are technology responsibilities being redistributed across the enterprise?
• What are progressive CIOs doing to build more and better technology leaders outside of IT?
• How does the role of the CIO change when technology work becomes democratized? (Repeat)

In this session, we will unpack questions such as:
