Chiefs or Indians?

Are we leading in the business? Are we proactive? Do we have a primary stake in the boardroom? Are we aligned with the business? OR Do we face the facts? Are we more followers than improvers? In other words are we Chiefs or Indians? This will be the main driver of the CIO Day 2008 on November 24 and 25, 2008.

From this perspective on we will focus on 'What leads to High Performance (Information)?' Today’s business requires a high and almost superior quality of performance in order to survive the competitive and globalising business environment. What does this mean for us IT decision makers? What challenges do we face? This questions will be the main theme during the fourth CIO Day. Sub theme’s are: Leadership development, IT & Talent management, Business & IT Alignment, Transformation, Globalisation, Innovation, Collaboration and Culture….High Performance Information!
