CIO Executive Council - The Shift Toward an Intelligent Enterprise

CIO Executive council Webcast

Virtual Session Summary

One of the primary goals of digital transformation is to create an intelligent enterprise that focuses more on creating business insights than collecting massive amounts of information. The benefits of an intelligent enterprise (IE) are clear: more visibility into the data, faster response to changes in the market and customer demands, and a sharper focus on higher-value objectives. Establishing an IE, however, not only requires a more intelligent and intuitive architectural framework, but also a structural change in the way processes are conducted and people engage with one another both inside and outside an organization.

During this session, we looked at how companies have created a framework for IE and implemented systems and strategies to create an actionable intelligence environment. Our experts also cited some of the challenges in adapting to a structure and philosophy that balances analytics with internal culture.

The US CIO Executive Council was joined by Richard Wiedenbeck, SVP & CIO at Ameritas; Lookman Fazal, Chief Information & Digital Officer at NJ Transit, and Joseph Pucciarelli, Group Vice President & IT Executive Advisor at IDC.

CIO Executive Council - Managing and Motivating a Hybrid Workforce

CIO Executive Council

Virtual Session Summary

As companies continue to gradually phase employees back into an adapted office environment, a significant portion of the workforce will remain remote, for safety reasons, for logistics, and because these revamped offices just cannot support a full workforce. While the percentage of those returning may change over time, many workers will permanently remain remote as part of a hybrid workforce.

This dynamic will require new approaches in managing and motivating this mix of onsite and offsite workers, as well as more flexible metrics in terms of measuring performance and identifying key personnel.

Such initiatives were discussed during this session. We were joined by Lisa Davis, CIO at Blue Shield of California, Kendra Ketchum, Vice President of Information Management and Technology at The University of Texas at San Antonio, and Eric Bloom, Adjunct Research Advisor at IDC.

CIO Executive Council - Managing Cultural Transformation & Diversity

CIO Executive Council Webcast

Virtual Session Summary

Potential new hires for an IT organization are typically evaluated for their technical skills, the ability to work in a group or independently, and their cultural fit within an organization. The objective is to identify candidates whose cultural attitudes align with the values, behaviors, and overall objectives of the organization. What is usually not considered, however, is an individual's ability to easily adapt to changing cultural conditions that are impacted or shaped by digital transformation as well as external forces that may be beyond a company's control.

This session examined the challenges of managing cultural changes within an that may be impacted by unforeseen situations and rapidly changing internal and external forces. We were joined by David Behen, VP & CIO at La-Z-Boy, Inc., John McGuthry, VP & CIO at Cal Poly Pomona, and Jesse Carrillo, SVP & CIO at Hines.

CIO Executive Council - Succession Planning: Tactics to Identify, Develop and Retain Key Employees

CIO Executive Council Webcast

Virtual Session Summary

Succession planning is a common practice for most IT organisations and businesses. It can be used to identify key people within an organisation who have the right knowledge, skills, and capabilities to quickly fill vacant roles or meet the demands of new challenges that may arise as a result of digital transformation or mergers and acquisitions.

Unfortunately, many companies limit succession planning activities to management and executive leadership roles. In doing so, they fail to recognise that the established career roadmaps for up-and-coming individuals can not only identify people with leadership potential but also be an effective way to retain workers considering the current IT crunch.

This session focused on succession planning techniques and strategies that can be used to identify talented people within your organisation, take an active role in their career journeys, and successfully retain "tribal knowledge" that can benefit the business and create a culture of growth and opportunity. Our panelists also discussed how their efforts in developing succession plans and individual career roadmaps have contributed to reskilling activities and attracting outside candidates. We are joined by Anupam Khare, VP & CIO, Oshkosh Corporation, and Damon Carter, Adjunct Research Advisor, IDC.
