From Poverty to Prosperity – Transforming Your Business and Yourself

Daphne E. Jones

Corporate Board Member | Retired SVP & CIO, GE Healthcare Product Engineering & Services

The demands of constant change facing IT executives belie the truth – change is hard and people resist it. To overcome, CIOs must embrace their own personal change if they hope to bring their teams and organizations along with them. Daphne Jones has lived and breathed this truth throughout her career, and in this powerful session, she shares the lessons of her journey and the incredible impact it’s had on her life and leadership.

In this session, Jones will…

Share the five “Ps” of transformation and the ways they apply to you and your work
Draw parallels between her own life’s dramatic change and the digital transformation facing all CIOs
Offer a fresh perspective on the role of the technology executive and offer tips for enriching your leadership style

Smart Living in the Windy City

Danielle DuMerer

CIO and Commissioner

City of Chicago

It begins with a premise: a data-driven city can better serve its constituents, tackle the right problems in the right ways and become more efficient. From that vision, CIO and Commissioner Danielle DuMerer – with a small team in a complex organization – overcame challenges and built the foundations of a smarter, more responsive Chicago.

Join this session to learn:

How the City of Chicago has found success in enhancing their data capabilities across departments
What factors are most important in deciding which challenges to tackle
The ways data is changing Chicago’s approach to government and the lives of its citizens

1:20pm - 2:10pm Breakout Session

Achieving the Promise of Business 4.0

This holistic paradigm – Business 4.0 – will define the future of the digital enterprise, but it will take your leadership to get there.

In this session, you will gain insight into:

Demonstrating ROI and clearing the barriers to adoption of AI, robotic process automation and predictive analytics
Strategies for integrating varied digital tactics into a unified whole – redefining operational standards and business models in the process
The next horizon of digital opportunity and how cutting-edge leaders will leverage it

What’s Next – A Nuts-and-Bolts Roadmap to Innovation

Corrado Azzarita

VP, IT, Corp. Functions, Ent. Systems & Analytics

Kraft Heinz Company

Thomas South

Head of Technology Solutions

Northern Trust

In an increasingly competitive landscape, new thinking, new technology and new ways of doing business are essential. But to fully embrace and leverage innovation, CIOs must be fully aligned to the strategy and execution of the organization – not reacting to disruption, but a critical part of disrupting. Take this opportunity to remove the wishful thinking from emerging technology and share your strategies for embedding innovation into the core of your business.

This conversation will focus on:

Evaluating new and emerging technologies and building sound business cases for their implementation
Methodology for defining new business opportunities through technology
Creating a comprehensive culture of innovation rooted in practical, measurable outcomes

Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic. These private, closed-door discussions encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to CIOs).

CIO

Johnson Controls, Inc.

Mindy Simon

CIO

Conagra Brands

Ask a room full of CIOs about digital, and you’re likely to draw a wide range of progressive approaches to technology’s all-encompassing modus operandi. But while every organization takes its own path, the most successful digital companies all know where they’d like to go. Enhancing digital capabilities, self-disruption, growth; all worthy goals, but the time has come to get specific about the next phase of digital business.

Come prepared to exchange ideas about:

Your detailed digital roadmap for the next two years – how you defined these targets and what it will take to get there
Anticipating the ways in which business models in your industry will continue to evolve. How can you leverage digital to disrupt your own business?
How you continue to build capabilities across business units so that IT can best enable growth

Forging a Digital Path at COUNTRY

John Key

The company was attempting to compete and provide digital app experience without a true digital foundation to enhance their capabilities.

Strategies for embedding security into business processes across the organization
Measuring the overall cybersecurity health of your organization in meaningful, business-first terms
Defining the risk tolerance of your organization and driving accountability for risk into business units

Enhancing Digital Capabilities – Interactive Brainstorm

Wayne Bulmahn

CIO

UNITE HERE HEALTH

Chris Walter

CIO

Central Garden & Pet Co.

Acceleration isn’t just something you experience – it’s something you create. But even the fastest cars hit speed bumps that keep them from achieving peak performance. To seize the digital moment, CIOs must clear the road and open up the engine across the enterprise.

In this workshop, you and your peers will strategize solutions to the three biggest barriers to digital excellence:

Digital Talent: How do you ensure you have the right skills, the right training, and the right leadership for the digital economy?
Operational Excellence: What can you as CIO do to reimagine the way your organization works – and overcome resistance to change at the process level?
Innovation Friction: How can you close the distance between what technology says is possible and what large organizations can execute?

2:30pm - 3:20pm Breakout Session

Pamela Dill

Sr. Security Advisor

HP Inc.

This session relies on real-world examples to examine:

How some of the most secure organizations are still lagging in security beyond the firewall
How to use data analytics and a proven framework to secure endpoint devices.

Andy Newsom

CSL Behring

Marvin Richardson

DSVP Head of Applications - ITG

Health Care Service Corporation

Ruchir Ranjan

Managing Partner

Cognizant

For years, CIOs have struggled with the primacy of technology outpacing the availability and skill development of their talent. This interplay is complex, and is further complicated by the emergence of automation and artificial intelligence – tools that can augment top performers or replace them entirely, but ultimately sink or swim based on the overall technical competency of the organization. This session challenges you to answer the question: how are you balancing your people and your technology?

CIOs will share perspectives on:

Building the right strategy for equipping your organization with the people and tools for the future of your business
Enhancing the overall technical acumen of your organization and leading your people through the rapid pace of change
Evaluating the role of automation and artificial intelligence in supplementing and redefining your workforce
