CIOFEST: CHARTING YOUR CIO CAREER

Jaki jest przepis na udaną karierę CIO? To pytanie regularnie wraca w wielu naszych rozmowach. Podczas Community Eventu przyjrzymy się ścieżkom kariery CIO – zarówno w Polsce, jak i na arenie międzynarodowej. Czy odnoszący w Polsce sukcesy CIO zostanie dostrzeżony w strukturach międzynarodowych? Czy CIO w Polsce pełni rolę bardziej operacyjną niż strategiczną? Czy w Polsce dostęp do budżetu na innowacje jest trudniejszy niż dla CIO w firmach globalnych? Spotkanie ma charakter międzynarodowy, w tym samym czasie w różnych krajach CIONET odbędą się dyskusje o karierze dyrektorów IT. Będziemy mieć niepowtarzalną okazję spojrzenia na kariery globalnych CIO, również przez pryzmat ekspertki executive search, która prowadzi rekrutacje na najwyższe, technologiczne stanowiska.

Embark on a culinary journey through the ever-evolving world of digital leadership with our third edition of the CIONET Cookbook: Recipes for Digital Success. Unveiling the intricate trilemma faced by today’s Master Chefs, our trailblazing European CIOs address a challenge at the nexus of customer interests, digital transformation strategies, and IT modernisation. Their secret? Synchronising the gearing between customer, business, and technology to create a frictionless movement through the digital landscape.

The CIONET Cookbook uses the analogy of a five-star restaurant to explain the importance of optimally integrated technology, with the CIO as Master Chef. In order to provide the best service to its customers, a top restaurant must have the right atmosphere, an inviting menu, a well-equipped kitchen, talented and committed front-of-house and kitchen staff and smooth-running processes that ensure an enjoyable experience for diners.
