CIONET Round Table - Reimagining Virtualisation

For years, virtualisation has been the backbone of IT infrastructure, driving modernisation, efficiency, and value. When integrated with a hybrid cloud strategy—spanning on-premises, cloud, and edge environments—it has revolutionised how enterprises manage their IT resources, enabling faster innovation and greater adaptability in increasingly complex ecosystems. Today, however, the virtualisation landscape is shifting rapidly due to new market dynamics and major vendor acquisitions. As a result, enterprises are grappling with rising costs, the challenge of maintaining flexibility, ensuring continuity and the need to ensure seamless operations. Many organisations now find themselves at a crossroads, reevaluating their virtualisation strategies in the short to medium term amid growing pressure to adapt. Therefore, we would like to invite you to this timely CIONET roundtable, where we will collaboratively examine the path forward.

Advisory Board - The Business-First CIO

The role of the CIO has never carried more weight. AI and data are not just reshaping industries, they are reshaping leadership itself. The boundaries between technology and business are dissolving, placing CIOs at the heart of strategic decision-making. The question is no longer how can IT support the business? but rather how can technology propel it forward, unlock new opportunities, and redefine competitive advantage? This evolution is both exhilarating and demanding. The CIO must be an innovator, a risk manager, a business strategist, and a transformation leader all at once. How do you harness AI and data to fuel innovation while ensuring security and governance? How do you lead in an environment where technology is no longer a function but the foundation of business itself? In our first Advisory Board meeting of 2025, we’ll go beyond theory and dive into real-world insights from those navigating this transformation firsthand. Gunter will share how he is reshaping his role at Bekaert to drive business transformation. Thomas from Deloitte will offer a market perspective on how AI and data are redefining leadership expectations. Finally, our new Advisory Board President will share his vision for tackling the business challenges ahead in his new role at Sibelga. This isn’t just a meeting, it’s the first step in defining the future of the CIO in 2025 and beyond.

The End of IT Leadership? | Why Every Technology Leader Must Be a Business Leader

The role of IT and the CIO is undergoing a profound transformation. Three key shifts are driving this evolution: 1. Democratisation: from control to enablement With SaaS, cloud computing and low code/no code tooling and AI now prevalent, lines of business can now experiment, execute and scale their own technology initiatives, reducing dependency on the IT function. The CIO’s new focus is to empower the organisation by establishing the guardrails—standards, security, resilience, financial predictability and compliance—while providing a platform for innovation. 2. IT as strategic partner: from long-term programs to continuous delivery The age of multi-year outsourcing and rigid IT roadmaps is over. Businesses now demand smaller, iterative projects that deliver value quickly. The CIO’s role expands to include facilitating rapid iteration, building cross- functional teams, and leveraging data for responsiveness and relevance. CIOs must create strong, balanced ecosystems with trusted partners who bring a variety of skills to the table, whilst maintaining continuous delivery and integration (CI/CD) at pace. 3. Human-centric: from standardised to personalised As technology is increasingly focused on automation of workflows and user productivity, the emphasis is on role-based approaches, bringing personalisation and efficiency to the delivery model. With key skills at a premium, the CIO must invest in technologies that will deliver a clear return on investment or can be optimised to play a transformative role. Acting as a strategic advisor, the CIO ensures technology investments align with business priorities and future-proofs the organisation. Whilst presenting business cases for investment with clear paths to ROI has always been a core skill, it’s now about harnessing technology to drive strategic growth and contributing to the bottom line. Today’s CIO needs to navigate a complex web of internal stakeholders, who are tech-savvy and more demanding than ever. Softer skills are now at the forefront of the CIOs role; so it’s no surprise that increasing numbers of CIOs are becoming CEOs – an exciting prospect. Join CIONEXT to learn how the role of the CIO is evolving and hear from CIOs who are already making the shift.

The CISO Revolution: Cybersecurity Leadership in the Boardroom

A new global study reveals that 82% of CISOs now report directly to the CEO, a sharp rise from 47% in 2023. This shift highlights the growing influence of cybersecurity leaders in strategic decision-making. On January 23, 2025, Splunk, in collaboration with Oxford Economics, released the CISO Report 2025, outlining the evolving role of CISOs in corporate governance. Key insights include: Stronger Boardroom Presence: 83% of CISOs now frequently participate in board meetings. Bridging the Cybersecurity Gap: Only 29% of boards have a cybersecurity expert, despite growing threats. The ROI of Security: CISOs must articulate security’s business value to secure budgets and drive digital resilience. Join us for an exclusive dinner where top digital leaders and IT directors will discuss these findings and shape the future of cybersecurity leadership.
