CIODAY 2018 will be the 14th edition, an annual network event for those at the very top of the demand side of the multi billion IT market. This two day event is the annual meeting for more than 650 CIOs, IT VPs and/or IT directors. As our statistics show, the buyer’s side of the market is always extremely well represented (around 70 percent).
CIODAY 2018 – THE BIG HOW – PART II
What is going on?
The transformation by disruptive forces in the economy, technology and society is still going on. The democratization of media and technology has a profound influence on organizations, sectors and even entire nations. Economic models seem to become obsolete in no time.
What the effects of disruptive forces will be, is anybody’s guess. But some inspiring answers have been found. Examples of real value and disruption, in the fields of economics, HR, the consumer, organisation, mobility, utilities and health. For the time being, all challenges are marked by scarcity. But what if we find ourselves with a surplus, as announced by several experts. Everything will be different, no doubt about that.
Is there an answer?
It is clear that important goals are scalability, flexibility, operating in ecosystems and self-steering organisation. This is all-important, considering the developments in digital, data and disruption. Technology is everywhere, so leaders have to become digital leaders. On the other hand, CIOs are moving towards business and management, to drive the application of technology as a force to generate innovative services, products and to address new target groups.
Did we reach final conclusions at last year’s CIODAY?
No, we are still exploring. The Big How – part 2 is on. We did say that a holistic view on change is needed: culturally, organizationally, business-wise, operationally, technologically, and also in terms of leadership. No hard and fast plans or objectives, no frameworks, but a strategy, a course and a path of exploring and developing.

What matters is not what happens or why. The main requirement is that managers and organizations know how they can deal with it. Successful companies no longer seem to have huge, revolutionary programmes in mind; with agility they cautiously but vigorously move in the intended direction. Their executives are the precursors, looking for the common denominator within a range of challenges. They do this cross-functionally, so on the basis of interaction on a broad scale. This may well lead to a push to new for possibilities at C level, as positions change, disappear or merge, and new roles emerge. Perhaps, the CIO’s best days are yet to come!
At CIODAY 2018 we will present some of the best and most inspiring cases. Real-world models of how to deal with fundamental changes and disruption. All cases are already classic examples of how to achieve top line growth in a disruptive, digital era. Proposed and presented by CIOs and CEOs.
The question is how we are going to take care of the Big How. You might find your answer at CIODAY.
