About the Event
This half day event is designed exclusively for CEOs, CXOs and CIOs/IT leaders from the greater Chicago area.
| The CIO as a Transformational Leader |
| There are many different ways for businesses to innovate, such as developing new products or services, creating new and groundbreaking business processes, or adopting market-changing business models. By definition, business innovation changes the way business is performed and, once introduced, becomes a license to play and the basis for the next innovative step – transformation. |
| |
 |
An interesting question is, “How does the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the IT systems contribute to transforming the business in innovative ways?”. |
| |
At the CIO Executive Leadership Roundtable, we will be examining the technology side of business transformation by addressing these questions and more:
- What are the key technologies (existing and new) that will assist business to transform and grow?
- What are the infrastructures (internal/external) that will permit low cost and flexible operations?
- How should these technologies be used and integrated to provide your business with competitive advantage?
- What skills are necessary in IT Executives in the next 1-3 years that will contribute to transforming the business in innovative ways?
 |
| Attendees rated the CIO Executive Leadership Roundtable as one of the best leadership events they've attended. Experience for yourself the exceptional knowledge sharing, discussions and networking opportunities. |

Jansen Kraemer, Jr., Executive Partner, Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC and former Chairman and CEO, Baxter International, Inc. and Timothy Kasbe, CIO, Sears Holdings Management Corporation. In addition, there was an expert panel examining Transformational Leaders - Who Are They, How Do They Do It and What Are The Required Skills? <learn about the December '09 event>
