Track A. Technology Leadership
The CIO’s role starts with leadership of the IT function and organization, but critical to that functional effectiveness is the ability to lead the IT organization to work as a cohesive team. In turn, the team is empowered to drive democratized digital delivery across the enterprise. In this track, we focus on the strategy, operating model and change management that allows the organization to thrive.
Track B. Executive Partnership
The evolved leadership value of the CIO includes driving impact by partnering with executive peers. As C-suite partners, it is critical to lead beyond the IT function and collaborate on how digital capabilities can drive business outcomes. Navigating the politics and challenges inherent in partnerships is critical to success, including understanding what “seats at the table” the CIO should claim and how to get them. In this track, we focus on executive influence, stakeholder management and partnering for impact.
Track C. Professional Growth
Making time and space for your own growth and development allows you to show up better as a leader of your team and partner to peers. CIOs must prioritize their own skill-building and development as a part of their leadership, providing the tools and circumstances to innovate, think big and progress in their own careers and aspirations. In this track, we focus on personal and professional skills such as storytelling, brand and presence.
