CHARTING A NEW COURSE: Rethinking Your Strategies For The Digital Economy

The rise of disruptive technologies has fundamentally changed how organisations remain relevant. CIOs are now challenged to adapt to this new global transformation. In order to achieve this, they have to break away from traditions and rethink how they can strategise to transform their organisations. This will involve CIOs coming up with innovative approaches in managing an IT organisation of the future.

The reThink CIO Forum series is CIO Academy Asia’s initiative to bring together some of the best practitioners to rethink the role of a CIO in organisations.

During this forum, you will gather thought-provoking insights on how the evolving IT trends and strategies can lead to reframing business models and creating value for your organisation. The session will also help to promote intuitive observation, stimulate reflective conversations and foster deeper reflections.

This forum will focus on the following three key areas to help technology leaders chart a new course and rethink their strategies for the digital economy.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]

Speaker : Giap Nguyen – Country General Manager, Lenovo


14:30 WORKSHOP | Digital Transformation – A Practitioner’s Guide for Successful Outcomes

Both firms have not paid enough attention to continuous innovation. The reality of traditional firms having to steer through these transformative changes and yet having legacy systems to deal with are big challenges posed to senior executives. The presentations and panel discussion will address the following questions:

  • How can you make an assessment of your organisation’s level of digital maturity?
