Transforming Public Services Without Breaking the System

For CIOs and Digital Leaders across Public & Institutional Services, including federal and regional agencies, city administrations, defence, healthcare, social security, and higher education, the gap between ambition and reality is growing. Today, you are caught between two opposing forces: The Sovereignty Squeeze: Heavy pressure from authorities to move away from global public clouds towards "local" solutions, often without a clear plan on how to maintain performance. The Procurement Trap: Strict legal rules that make changing suppliers an administrative nightmare. This leads to "Vendor Lock-in" and "Frankenstein systems" where new tools are awkwardly bolted onto old infrastructure.

Building the Event-Driven Enterprise: Managing flow, context, and control in event-driven systems

Becoming event-driven sounds like the logical next step: real-time visibility, faster response, tighter integration. The promise is appealing, no? But turning that vision into reality is another story. Where do you start, with technology, operating model, or mindset? Many soon discover that event-driven design reshapes everything. Data ownership becomes decentralised, monitoring grows complex, and governance feels like chasing a moving target. Scaling up amplifies both the benefits and, if poorly governed, the costs as well. The question then becomes: what is the return on all that investment? Does the model actually reduce cost over time, or simply move it elsewhere? And when does ROI start showing, during scaling or only once operations stabilise? The goal remains clear: systems that react faster, stay reliable, and create measurable value at speed. But the path there is not. Let’s explore what it means to build event-driven architectures, what challenges surface at scale, and what financial outcomes they truly achieve. A closed conversation for those aiming to prove that responsiveness can also be sustainable.

The Sovereignty Play : Sourcing for Autonomy, Resilience and Competitive Advantage

Sourcing for Autonomy, Resilience and Competitive Advantage. Global platforms offer incredible speed and innovation, but they also create deep dependencies that can expose your business to vendor lock-in, supply chain disruptions, and regulatory shifts. For today's CIO, the central challenge is no longer just about technology adoption; it's about building a digital foundation that is both agile and resilient. Strategic sourcing is the key. It has evolved from a procurement function into the primary tool for CIOs to navigate uncertainty, mitigate risk, and achieve digital autonomy. This session provides a practical playbook for using strategic sourcing to build a future-proof enterprise.
