EXECUTIVE BRIEFING: Leadership and Innovation: Powerful Forces for Real Change
Roger Berry, former SVP & CIO, Walt Disney Parks & Resorts
Moderator: Hunter Muller
Leadership and Innovation can be powerful forces for consistently driving and improving results in any business. As the Chief Information Officer of Walt Disney’s $16 billion global Parks and Resorts Entertainment businesses over the last 10 years, Roger has lead multiple transformational technology initiatives that significantly changed how Disney “creates magic” and grows the “bottom line.” In this Executive Briefing Roger will share his view of the five key areas that a successful transformation CIO must master to earn and sustain a seat in the C-Suite. Roger’s proven “personalized” approach and straight forward perspective on the essentials of leveraging technology and information can be applied to drive and sustain change in any business and can be utilized by CIO’s and C-Suite executives across all industries. |

KEYNOTE: A Skunk's Guide to Painting Your Stripe and Living Among the Big Cats of the C-Suite
Greg Fell, CIO, Terex Corporation Moderator: Roger Berry
Executives don't have time to understand the day to day technical challenges of running a global IT infrastructure. They rely on the CIO to take care of the infrastructure as the minimum price of admission. But how do you effectively balance the day-to-day challenges with the strategic discussions that the C-suite will measure you against? Greg Fell, the Global CIO of Terex Corporation, will address how to be a skunk with your team, and how to pass as a cat with the C-suite. He will give humorous and practical advice on how to demonstrate "business acumen" and "business leadership" without forgetting your malodorous roots. |

KEYNOTE: IT Enabled Business Transformation
Charlie Feld, Founder and CEO, The Feld Group Moderator: Roger Berry
With the global economy in turmoil it is a sure bet that there will be winners and losers over the next decade. Insightful business leaders will seize this turbulence as an opportunity to create new Marketplace models, Business models and Organization models to compete in the 21st century. It is critical that IT leaders do the same with their Systems model. This is a time for the CIO to become not just the Chief Information Officer but the Chief Innovation and the Chief Integration Officer. This is the decade to play offense and thrive, not to retreat and merely survive. Charlie Feld, Founder of the Feld Group and an accomplished CIO (CIO of the Year 1998) will share his proven framework that aligns these four models (as in his book Blind Spot) to create a powerful and sustainable "IT enabled business transformation" that is at the heart of winning in this era of the CUSTOMER and GLOBALIZATION. |
