3:30 PM to 4:15 PM: What CEOs and the Board Expects from the CIO and IT Head
Panel 1:
IT management can become saturated by supply-side thinking, about what the IT industry will offer next and how best to assimilate that. Instead, this session looks at the demand side from the top down — what are boards and CEOs thinking and what business agenda must IT leaders deliver to? You will find out what they CEOs are thinking about technology at the strategic level, what they think about CIOs and what needs to be done as a result.
