Keynote
How to Keep Your CIO Job.- CIOs simply don´t get it
Ron Blitstein, Director of Cutter's Business Technology Strategies practice
During this presentation followed by a round table, Ron
Blitstein, Director of Cutter's Business Technology Strategies
practice, will help you identify the landmines that already exist, or
that might be on the verge of being laid. As a former CIO, Ron has
deep experience with how to decipher the unspoken job requirements and
creating and navigating the intercompany alliances that make it
possible to meet and exceed them. He will help you clarify
just how you can successfully drive business outcomes and
shareholder value -- which often require hugely disruptive initiatives
and decisions -- while at the same time being careful not to create so
much volatility that you get yourself turned out.
KEYNOTE
Improve Leadership, lessons from Neuroscience
Lynne Ellyn, Cutter Fellow
Neuroscience research is revealing the secrets of brain chemistry,
attention, motivation, learning, and performance. Consequently, the
expanding knowledge of the true nature of the brain has led to the term
"neuromarketing" as well as to MBA programs devoted to the
"Neuroscience of Leadership."
During this Keynote Lynne will share with the group how neuroscience
will not change the rules of marketing and challenge the notions
of leadership buy will surely transform the way software is designed
and developed.
WORKSHOP
The CIO’s Strategy for Difficult Times
Bob Benson, Cutter Fellow
CIOs certainly need to understand technologies and
how to deploy
them. But this is not nearly enough, they also must be able
to understand the business organizations for which they work, and be
able to connect ICT to ever changing business requirements. This
requires a set of capabilities – a tool set – to successfully deal with
the business and today’s turbulent times.
During this workshop Bob will lead and moderate the discussion in order
to determine what capabilities, and how to acquire them.
CIO´s career depends on them.
