About

From economic uncertainty and labour shortages to governance, security and trade concerns,today’s IT leaders face unprecedented challenges that require them to navigate and thrive in chaos.

In the next phase of our CIO series, Cognizant and CIONET will explore the macro trends that are impacting organisations across the economy – and identify the actionable strategies, set and led by the IT organisation, that will provide active leadership and positive results. We will pinpoint key areas such as cash flow management, supply chain risks, and workforce transformation, and discuss how technology can play a pivotal role in building a resilient future.

This new series comprises three interlinked events – and we invite you to all three to make the most of the insights and the shared knowledge on offer.
