What is the Digital CIO North America Summit?
In an era where transformation is accelerating at an unprecedented rate, IT leaders must respond with agility to challenges such as budget restraints, skills shortages, and siloed systems and mindsets. Collectively, we are moving closer to realizing the revolutionary potential of AI in the future of work, particularly the role of generative AI in unlocking our limitless creative and productivity potential. And we are also identifying a host of new and associated risks that the pace of technology change brings. Within this summit, we explore the significance of modernizing the digital core and aligning business and IT objectives, as well as how to harness the power of next-gen technology. Laying strong foundations is crucial. How do we foster an innovation-rich culture and mindset, and build resilience via people, process, and technology?
