Dal Downtown alla Business Resilience: strategie a confronto

Nel mondo iperconnesso di oggi, dove l’innovazione corre più veloce che mai, ogni secondo conta. E quando arriva il downtime, l’impatto è immediato: business interrotto, clienti persi, fiducia in bilico. Oggi il downtime non è solo una questione tecnica: è un rischio strategico, una delle sfide più critiche da affrontare. Può minacciare la reputazione delle nostre organizzazioni, attirare l’attenzione dei regolatori, influenzare i mercati, compromettere risultati e crescita. I numeri parlano chiaro e offrono spunti impressionanti: Il 78% delle organizzazioni accetta consapevolmente il rischio di downtime pur di adottare nuove tecnologie. Il 74% dei leader tech afferma che il downtime ritarda il time-to-market. Le 2.000 aziende più grandi al mondo perdono ogni anno fino a 400 miliardi di dollari a causa di downtime non pianificati. Come si può allora innovare senza compromettere la resilienza?Questa VIP Dinner è pensata per spostare la conversazione dalle soluzioni prodotto a una riflessione più ampia sulle implicazioni del downtime. Discuteremo insieme trovare il giusto equilibrio tra spinta all’innovazione e capacità di resilienza. Ad aprire la serata saranno Francesco Tondi, Managing Director di CIONET Italia, e Gian Marco Pizzuti, Country Manager di Splunk, che daranno il via a un confronto peer-to-peer: un dialogo aperto tra executive, CIO, CISO, dove condividere esperienze, visioni e strategie concrete per: Ridurre i rischi operativi Allineare i team Costruire una resilienza digitale intelligente e sostenibile Esploreremo le strategie p

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.

The impact of AI on ICT

The evolution of AI is comparable to that of IT, but it’s happening much faster. As with IT in its early days, AI is becoming deeply embedded in almost every business function. Amara’s Law also applies here: we tend to overestimate AI’s short-term effects and underestimate its long-term impact. This makes it essential to embed AI across your company in a structured way.
