EVENT OVERVIEW

The signs have been around for years. The CIO’s opportunities and responsibilities are expanding – and continue to do so in good times and bad. What is clear is that the CIO is expected to focus the organisation’s attention and energy towards delivering business outcomes.

“CIOs need to orchestrate peers, partners and the IT organization toward the business objectives. With a small, but powerful set of practices, CIOs will be the outcome-driven leader the organization needs,” said Christie Struckman, VP Analyst at Gartner.

The conditions for 2024 reflect a consistent theme of the past few years with uncertainties and volatility continuing to test the mettle of leadership across the board, the executive suite, and down the functional lines of the organisation.

The common thread is the recognition that technology will be central to not only achieving adaptive resilience but uncompromising growth – the Board knows this, and the Executive Suite is counting on this. For the CIO, the task of delivering business outcomes is all the more challenging when faced with calls for greater use of technology to power business initiatives, restrained budgets/resources, and greater pressures for accountability not just for what has been spent but for what is yet to come.

The 2^nd FutureCIO Malaysia Conference is back to Kuala Lumpur on 27 June 2024, bringing together seasoned IT professionals in Malaysia to discover the behind-the-scenes machinations that will drive to the state of innovation and discuss:
