Changing from being a transaction oriented CIO to a transformational leader is a significant mindset change. The transformational CIO needs a strategic technology vision as well as a deep understanding of the various businesses within the business, and of the competitive landscape outside the business. For success, the transformation CIO needs to meld people with lean processes and enabling technologies to fuel growth, increase productivity and achieve competitive advantage. The CIO must work on all three key levels -- people, process, and technology -- with deep understanding in order to achieve a transformational business model that supports and drives the business.
Attend this session to learn first hand what these CIOs are doing to transform their businesses and how they are going about it.
