Gartner analysts keynote MIKe hARRIS, MARY MeSAGLIO and DON ScheIBeNReIF

Digital business separates the leaders from those who struggle to catch up, and you are poised to make a difference in the competitive strategy. In the opening keynote, Mike Harris, GVP Research and a team of leading analysts give you the roadmap to create your digital business reality. Digital business is a team sport, involving all business disciplines. And your role as the CIO? To create a digital ecosystem in which you trust and can be trusted.

focusing on the distant future, Mike takes an anthropological approach – scanning the near horizon for emerging technologies and disruptive shifts in human behavior, and then translating these into pragmatic plans for business transformation. A prolifi c winter and commentator, Mike’s views have appeared in a wide range of international publications including BusinessWeek, Forbes and the Wall Street Journal.

cIO experience luncheon keynotesNIcOLAI FRIeDRIch, MentalistIn the keynote Nicolai questions your perceptions and cognitive abilities, asking why we are beguiled by simple deceptions. Amazing experiments will shock you into realizing how limited your perceptions are, and how controlled and infl uenced we all

are by our preconceived notions. Furthermore, you will learn how to overcome these preconceptions, i.e. trick yourself away from these patterns of thinking. You will be amazed/thrilled by what you are mentally capable of and then his talks focuses on the power of our thoughts.

PeTe GOSS, ‘Dare to Dream’In an exclusive sit-down with fellow CIOs, Pete Goss (Outstanding Yachtsman, Inspirational Adventurer, Company Director and Author), will shed light on his courageous story of when he turned into the teeth of a hurricane to save the life of a

fellow competitor in a single-handed round-the-world yacht race.

The CIO Agenda for 2016

PARThA IYNeGAR

Digitalization is moving from an innovative trend to a core competence for every enterprise. Digital is different for every enterprise and poses unique challenges for each, in terms of talent, structure, innovation and the role the CIO plays in all of these. How should you understand and engage with your enterprise’s digital journey? Is bimodal essential? What talent gaps must be fi lled? How is risk morphing? And how is your role evolving in response?
