Virtual Analyst Series: Interact & Network LIVE Wherever You Are

Tuesday, October 18 | 2:00-4:00 PM PT

“The Covid-19 pandemic has supercharged the role of chief information officers, accelerating a shift from backroom technicians to front-office decisionmakers, as companies’ operations are increasingly shaped by technology” (WSJ, 9/19/21). In this packed session, IDC will share research insights, explore the implications, and deliver leadership strategies for CIOs, rising CIOs, and senior technology professionals by revealing unique survey insights from Tech Talk Summit participants. Take a few moments from your busy schedule as we explore:

• Validation: What are other Tech Talk Summit attendees experiencing and how do they relate to the challenges confronting you and your team?
• Implications: What are the cascading implications impacting leading organizations now, and what can be expected over the next eighteen months as the pandemic, optimistically, winds down?
• Guidance: Targeted insight from successful CIOs and IT leaders as well as tools, suggestions, and ideas to help you and your team on your journey

Join Niel Nickolaisen, Adjunct Research Advisor for IDC’s IT Executive Programs, as he shares unique research insights, options, and best practices to guide senior IT leaders. Participants will come away with persuasive data, fresh ideas, and new solutions for today's and tomorrow's challenges.

Niel Nickolaisen is considered a thought leader in the use of Agile principles to improve IT delivery. And he has a passion for helping others deliver on what he considers to be the three roles of IT leadership: enabling strategy, achieving operational excellence, and creating a culture of trust and ownership.
