While we build the 2023 agenda, explore last year’s tracks built upon our latest research that addressed the challenges most critical to CIOs. These key topics kickstarted conversations around the priorities and initiatives of CIOs so attendees could tackle what was most important to them.
Attendees learned what short- and long-term strategies lead you and your team to success in dynamic and uncertain times. In this track, we explore what it takes to create an effective and adaptable strategy.
This track helped attendees reshape organizational structures and attitudes for greater agility, strengthen their teams with diversity and inclusion, and create a culture that is nourished and emboldened (not intimidated or overwhelmed) by change and innovation.
This track focused on embracing distributed digital leadership through application of adaptive governance mechanisms and how to engage peers to co-create new ways of working that remove digital friction to speed business outcomes.

"How much should we spend on innovation? And how do we prove the return on investment?" These are the questions we often hear from CIOs. Innovation pursues new ideas. You can't prove the value of ideas that don't exist. To overcome this, you must understand the value and risk profile of different areas of innovation and then apply a range of qualitative and quantitative decision criteria to justify the investments made.
