Work models at all levels around the world have been affected by the pandemic. Now is the time for CIOs to adopt a digital workspace model that is more human-centred. This requires leadership to rethink the culture, implement all working methods, select the right tools to use, and re-imagine the culture to drive innovation, better work-life balance, increased productivity, and, most importantly, improved business outcomes.

To become a data-driven enterprise, companies need to invest in technologies and platforms that allow them to collect, store, analyse, and visualise data in a meaningful way. They also need to develop a culture that values data-driven decision-making and invests in the skills and expertise necessary to effectively use data. This requires a significant shift in mindset and approach, as well as a commitment to continuous learning and improvement.
Ultimately, the goal of enabling a data-driven enterprise is to create a more agile and responsive organisation that is better equipped to navigate a rapidly changing business landscape. By harnessing the power of data, companies can gain a competitive advantage and drive growth and innovation in their respective industries.

Since the start of the pandemic, remote working has become the norm for many companies. It is now becoming more common for companies to encourage employees to blend home working with office working. This is leading to a re-think in what technology is used and how and where it is implemented. Key discussion points will include the role of technology in shaping hybrid working models and the changing needs of the hybrid workforce.
30min
Digital engagement with customers brings its own challenges and opportunities. Opportunities include offering highly personalised experiences which can retain and attract customers. Challenges include inconsistent customer experience across channels and poor channel integration. Key discussion points will include the importance of offering the best digital experiences and best practices in keeping customers loyal.
30min
Technology skills shortages remain a major challenge for companies today. Training and education, offshore outsourcing and automation can all play key roles in addressing the shortage. Increasingly, companies are seeking to automate tasks wherever possible. Key discussion points will be how companies can attract and retain the best talent and what can be automated and offshored.
30min
Robots and automation are increasingly undertaking tasks previously done by humans. From manufacturing plants to utilities, the use of automation and robotics is transforming whole industries. Key discussion points include an analysis of the roles that can be replaced by robotics and automation and how new technologies can augment and enhance the contributions made by employees.

People’s priorities are changing. Sustainability is emerging as a top priority in the 2023 CIO agenda as companies are being held more accountable for their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives by customers, employees, shareholders, governments, and even regulators.
This presentation will focus on how technology is critical for achieving sustainability goals and so, with this, it makes sense that the CIO is firmly involved as a way to fully integrate their technology and sustainability strategies. Key takeaways will include implementing a holistic, integrated data and insights program to measure and drive environmental sustainability, leveraging a sustainability-driven tech strategy and driving transparency and accountability in the value chain.

The Metaverse and Web 3.0 are two concepts that we are hearing a lot in the tech industry. The Metaverse refers to a virtual world where users can interact with each other and digital objects in a fully immersive way, while Web 3.0 refers to the next generation of the internet, where users have greater control over their data and online experiences.
Demystifying the Metaverse and Web 3.0 involves breaking down these complex concepts and exploring their potential impact on society, including the ways in which they may revolutionise online interactions, entertainment, and commerce. As these technologies continue to develop, it will be important for individuals and businesses to stay informed about their potential implications and opportunities.

One of the major challenges of adding cybersecurity controls to build resilience is the impact on digital experience. Companies need to ensure that their cybersecurity controls create as little friction as possible. Otherwise, they lose customers.
Key takeaways from this presentation include the potential impact controls have on experience and how to strike the right balance between security and experience.

Businesses need to have access to the right technology and skills in order to succeed now more than ever. After all, digital tools and technology are now necessary for any global business to be successful. However, there is a "digital skills gap" that many businesses have to deal with because they can't find skilled professionals who have the right knowledge and experience with new technologies. As a result, businesses are at a competitive disadvantage as they struggle to bridge the skills gaps between their current workforce and the digital economy's requirements.
Key discussion points in this panel will touch on how to maximise the power of technology by leveraging on trained and capable digital talents, understanding how diversity help business transform and innovate, discovering new business opportunities by having a diverse voice and how citizen-led automation can optimise and support digital transformation strategy.

The pandemic has accelerated the shift towards digitalisation. It has forced companies to adapt and change the way they operate, almost overnight.
As well as widespread remote working, companies also need to use new digital tools while managing security risks. It is challenging for organisations to pivot to new ways of working.
A key takeaway from this presentation will be an analysis of the need for a new type of leadership. The presentation will highlight how leaders need to be flexible, adaptable and to embrace continuous learning, against a background of disruption and rapid digitalisation.

As the use of cloud infrastructure (IaaS and PaaS) continues to soar within organizations, security teams struggle to scale to the needs of the business due to fragmented cloud security stacks and the visibility gaps that persist, making organizations vulnerable to compliance breaches and security threats. With researchers expecting an increase in breaches due to the growing use of cloud services and associated misconfigurations, the existing shortcomings leave organizations with an inability to scale securely. In this session, you will learn how to take a new approach to cloud security by simplifying your security stack and using a new cloud security operation model. Objectives

In today's fast-paced business environment, organisations must continuously adapt to remain competitive. As part of this process, organisations often undergo significant changes, such as restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, and digital transformations. These changes can have a significant impact on an organisation's culture, which in turn can affect the role of the CIO.
In this session, we explore the relationship between organisational change, culture, and the role of the CIO, and provide strategies for CIOs to succeed in this changing environment.

In technology, change is constant and a crucial process in any organisation to ensure the successful implementation of changes. We’ve all worked or been involved in projects at some point – desktop rollouts, application development, networks, servers, go-lives, support, service management.
We spend time with management consultants, leveraging stakes in the ground to operationalise the ideational mechatronics of transformation, however, one common challenge is the gap between the executive discussions and the operational teams. While the executives may have a clear vision and strategy for the changes, it may not always be effectively communicated to the operational teams. This can result in confusion, resistance, and ultimately, failure. Effective change management requires clear communication and collaboration between all levels of the organisation to ensure a smooth transition and successful adoption of the changes.
