No matter their geographical location or industry, all CIOs face common obstacles: Navigating a limited talent pool, establishing digital dexterity, and reworking processes that restrict their organization’s digital initiatives. In this environment, how are you thinking about upskilling your people to improve business performance?

In this boardroom, you will discuss ways of:

• Determining what skills your organization will need to thrive
• Preparing your employees for a future of rapid innovation
• Upskilling the right talent for accelerating your IT transformation

In cybersecurity, the goal is to minimize risk. However, adversaries are agile in their efforts to subvert security measures and innovation is required to keep pace with the evolving threat landscape. What must CISOs do to run an efficient SOC while still mitigating risk?

Join this this session to discuss:

• The biggest risks in cyber today
• Attacks that have resulted in reactive or proactive changes

Data governance is often at odds with data curiosity; stifling an organization's ability to develop a data-driven culture. How can CIOs and CISOs strike the right balance to protect data while driving responsible data curiosity across the enterprise?

During this peer conversation, you will discuss:

• IT’s role in sparking data curiosity across your organization
• How to let the data flow in safe, certified, secure ways
• Building blocks for architecting your own culture strategy
• Methods for managing growth along the way

As the ongoing rush to the cloud continues, many organizations falter because they equate “movement” with “strategy.” Getting the most out of your cloud journey doesn’t automatically follow from a corporate mandate or new vendor contract. Success is the product of clear communication of terms and expectations, alignment with other business processes and functions, and partnerships among multiple internal and external stakeholders.

This session puts strategy in the crosshairs and discusses ways of:

• Creating definitional clarity for your comprehensive approach to cloud to eliminate ambiguity and crystalize the best processes for your organization
• Building adaptability into your strategy so it can be augmented or amplified at any step in the journey to address shifting business needs
• Breaking cloud strategy away from IT and creating cross-functional, business-wide alignment
