Opening Keynote Presentation – The Sustainable CIO of Today

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

Panellist:
Chee Hung Ngoh, Director, Corporate Information Centre, HELP University

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-centered. 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.

Key discussion points in this panel will discuss how to evolve organisations to be more responsive to customer demand, more resilient to disruptions and more productive.

Keynote Presentation – Enabling the Data-Driven Enterprise

To become a data-driven enterprise, companies need to invest in technologies and platforms that allow them to collect, store, analyse, and visualize 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.

Yusri Mohamed, Chief Digital Officer, Johor Corporation
Sazulhisyam Samsuri, Designate-CTO - Digital Bank, Head of Digital Innovation, KAF Investment Bank Berhad
