The accelerating pace of digital technology innovation – mobility, social media, cloud, smart products, mass collaboration, business intelligence and so on – is reshaping the dynamics of global business competition, creating tremendous opportunities for Enterprise IT and the IT profession. But too often, IT organizations still spend most of their time maintaining legacy systems and applications. In many firms, the gap between what IT could be doing and what it actually is doing has never been wider.

Forward-thinking CIOs and other business/IT leaders are committed to closing this gap. They seek to sharply reduce their legacy IT burden so that their best people can focus on front-of-the-business support of their firm’s products, services and customer relationships. The goal is a smaller, but more powerful, team of market-oriented business/IT leaders, keen to energize their people and sharpen their firm’s competitive edge.

In this important one-day conference, pioneering CIOs, prominent business strategists and Leading Edge Forum researchers will show how ever-advancing technology and rising business pressures are transforming the skills, competencies and mission of Enterprise IT. Together, we will forecast the next wave of game-changing business innovations, and explore how some of the world’s finest companies are preparing for the technology-driven marketplaces of the future.
