Operational Expert? Turnaround Specialist? Innovator? Business Manager? Optimistic Bridgebuilder?

 

Since inception of the role, the CIO span of influence and accountabilities have been changing and expanding.

  • Approaches to proactively influence corporate strategy

  • Best practices for clearly identifying business project needs and prioritization        

  • How to work the CIO and IT enablement challenges

Ken Pedersen, CIO, Luna Carpet

 

In a recent CIO survey, the number-one barrier to job effectiveness is a tremendous backlog of projects and requests.

 

How do you determine which projects are essential to the business and which are a ‘nice-to-have’?  What metrics are you using to rate the projects during the prioritization phase and the success of them post implementation?

 

In this session, you will hear from CIOs with expertise in this area.  Topics will include:

 

  • Pitfalls to avoid in the application portfolio review

  • Operational shortcomings that can affect the projects chosen

  • How to review the portfolio to look for redundancies and ways for improving applications, infrastructure, operations

D'Arcy

Legal & IT: Strategies for Records Retention and Data Discovery

Paul D'Arcy, VP of Marketing, MessageOne

 

CIOs and their staff must have a mastery of all of the sources of information under their control and the policies that they must adhere to.   The threat of litigation seems to be everywhere, so the IT organization must be able to work with legal and pull all of the information together to prove who accessed what information and when.

 

In these challenging times, what should the CIO and staff do to reduce the potential legal threats that surround the organization?

 

In this session attendees will learn:

 

  • A well thought framework for handling regulatory compliance, e-discovery, records retention, &  e-mail archiving

  • What the current approaches of various regulators are and steps your organization can take to adhere to regulatory obligations and avoid fines and penalties

  • What information is necessary to provide vs. what could cause more headaches

  • The pitfalls to avoid when managing a records retention and data discovery effort

  • How to drive more efficient decision making that adds value to investors if you are a public company or with a focus on the bottom line if your company is privately held

Bodine

Panelists: Ellen Barry, Chief Information Officer, Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority,

enterprise IT CIOs will share their experiences

 

More and more CIOs are migrating their shops into mini-businesses of their own and treating other business units as if they were external customers.

 

This is largely a new way of thinking for many IT organizations.  What does this involve and how can you make this transformation?  If already down the path, what can you do to refine your approach?

 

In this session, you will hear from business oriented CIOs as to how they have driven their organization with the belief that they have ‘customers to serve’.

 

Topics that will be covered include:

 

  • How to manage customer value

  • How to turn IT language into business language

  • How to implement an “IT as a Service” Model

  • Should IT have a ‘PR and Marketing’ function?

  • What are the ‘Core Components’ of IT becoming an ‘Independent Business Unit’ ?
