Technology leadership has forever changed. The democratization of digital delivery is fundamentally redrawing the boundaries between IT departments and other business areas. And yet, confusion abounds about who should be doing what. This session reveals what should be on the CIO’s agenda for the coming 18 months, given the shifting expectations that CEOs and other CxOs have for their CIO — and the CIO’s own expectations of their leadership role and the mandate of their IT organization.

This interactive discussion serves as a follow up to the Signature Series session, CIO and Technology Executive Agenda for 2024, presented earlier in the agenda. Come prepared to ask questions, and learn from those posed by your peers, regarding the findings from Gartner's CIO and Technology Executive survey as revealed this week at IT Symposium/Xpo.

Which do you think is most important: Being seen by the C-suite as a strong problem solver or being seen as a leader in value-creation efforts?

CIOs must shift their leadership approach to become outcome-driven. This session enables CIOs with the mindsets and practices they need to shift the value of the CIO Role.
