CIOs Facilitate The Evolving World Of Work

You see the headline everywhere: The Workplace Is Changing! The New Workforce Is Forcing Businesses To Operate Differently! Global Business Requires Business Leaders To Alter The Nature Of Work! These sentiments represent tectonic changes in how business is done and the types of employees business leaders must recruit, develop, and retain to compete. How to create an engaging work environment that motivates workers and makes them productive is the conversation dominating many C-suites today. And while technology will underpin the solutions business leaders create, the CIO is often left out of this decision-making process.

This presentation focuses on the evolution in thinking and purpose the CIO must lead in order to become a full partner in helping support this new working world. The key is a restatement of IT's purpose: The mission isn't simply to provide employees with technology — it's to use technology to create experiences for employees that keep them motivated and productive in the service of the business' goals. This presentation discusses the strategy IT leaders must embrace, the partnerships they must forge, and the mechanisms they should use to measure their success.

Agenda:

• The World Of Work Is Changing — But Is IT Evolving Fast Enough To Remain Relevant?
• IT Leaders Must Embrace Employee-Centric Design And Change The IT Workforce To Implement Design Principles
• IT Leaders Must View "Business Alignment" Differently, And They Must Think Differently About External Partnerships
