Delivering product excellence through continuous digital innovation
The CEO of an FTSE 100 company recently admitted that ‘Innovation is the lifeblood of our company, but we just cannot innovate’. With digital natives making sweeping advances in today’s markets, this statement looks like economic suicide. Instead, boards and product developers in heritage companies must exploit modern digital techniques such as AI and Machine Learning to stay ahead in the market. This implies collecting, cleansing and analysing data from multiple sources in real-time. Infogain works with world-leading clients such as Tesco, Costco, Saber and Vodafone to harness new digital techniques to achieve product leadership. In this discussion evening, they will share their experiences in applying AI and other emerging technologies and discuss: How can digital techniques help transform product development to outperform digital natives in healthcare, banking and retail areas? How does the CIO take centre stage in orchestrating innovation based on advanced digital techniques such as AI and Machine Learning? What are leading companies doing to harness the power of external data across the entire supply chain to achieve competitive advantage? Will tomorrow’s board meetings take on the dynamics of a digital war-room with real-time decision-making at its centre? The Board of Infogain invites you to a ‘C’ suite discussion evening in London on the 24th of July, starting at 18.00 at the Savoy Hotel.

The discussion for the evening will explore how orgaisations have been applying different techniques to automate their end-to-end processes for many years but have encountered multiple obstacles, such as culture against change, knowledge retained by people, information silo’s, rigid legacy systems, lack of data integration, and minimal skillset.

But many executives struggle to identify high-ROI use cases and make informed decisions to drive adoption at speed and scale.

Learn from your peers about the most promising applications and challenges in responsibly integrating generative AI across your organization efficiently and effectively. We will discuss the following: Maximizing the value of generative AI: Exploring its applications, benefits, and potential impact on business operations Ethical considerations: Addressing the ethical challenges posed by generative AI, such as bias, privacy, and accountability Building Trust: Establishing trust with customers, employees, and stakeholders through the transparent and responsible implementation of AI Managing risk: Identifying and mitigating risks associated with AI, including data security and algorithmic transparency Skill development: Assessing the skills and capabilities required for the successful adoption of generative AI across your organization This unique event, hosted by Genpact, will take place on the evening of 27 June, 2023, at the Ivy City Garden commencing at 18.30BST.

FinOps: adopting new economic models for cloud operations
In today’s volatile and uncertain economic climate business leaders are supporting IT organisations in their move to public cloud platforms preferring to substitute CAPEX for OPEX and gain higher levels of organisational agility. But few such leaders have considered the cost, complexity and value of such migrations, both in terms of re-platforming applications and adapting to real-time consumption-based pricing models. New organisational ways of working, methodologies and tooling are required to manage and effectively control cloud costs and investments to achieve maximum value. Accenture and IBM have developed sophisticated FinOps methods and tools to enable organisations to extract full value from cloud platforms. Such tools help to eliminate waste and optimise usage. During this evening we will discuss: How to optimise your migration plans and associated sequencing How to analyse and eliminate waste when using public cloud platforms to reduce spend How to organise effective chargebacks to the businesses for cloud usage How to develop new ways of working for procurement and financial control How to address sustainability challenges across the IT estate Accenture and IBM invite you to a FinOps dinner at the Ivy City Garden on the 21st of June at 6.30 PM to discuss effective vendor partnerships.

Modernising legacy systems in the insurance industry
With its unique longevity, the insurance sector has often fallen behind in system modernisation. Today’s end customers expect ‘easy to transact’ interfaces copying the ‘Amazon effect’ as do brokers and other intermediaries. Internal staff look for intelligent underwriting tools and faster ways to respond to the increasing burden of regulation. But few insurance companies have the means or resources to undertake wholesale modernisation of core systems. In the view of Mendix, a subsidiary of Siemens AG, the solution is to build around the core by adopting low code tools and associated platforms. These can help to accelerate digital transformation by integrating cloud, mobile, data and API interfaces. During this roundtable we will be driving a lively conversation around the following: Who is driving user expectations for improved services and tooling? What are the technical limitations of current insurance systems? How can multi-experience platforms and low code help bridge the legacy gap? How rapidly do you expect low code/no code to develop in your company? Mendix invites you to a discussion evening in London on the 23 May, starting at 18.30.

CIONET UK Business Community Program: Solving our Sustainability Issues
According to the International Energy Agency, data centres alone could be responsible for 3.2% of global carbon emissions by 2025. Taking all aspects of IT into account, this may be 5% or more. But where does sustainability sit within the CIO’s agenda this year? According to CIONET research it does not even feature in the top ten list of CIO priorities for many memebrs. Perhaps the reason is that sustainability is important but not urgent? Our forthcoming event addresses this issue head-on by considering what the IT organisation can do to put its own house in order, and how it might help its parent organisation meet net-zero goals. We will address: How can IT reduce its own carbon footprint and what role can technology play here? What are hyper-scalers such as Microsoft and AWS doing to support your sustainability agenda? What might be the tangible, here and now benefits of adopting a sustainability programme both for IT and your own organisation? What are the best practices for sustainability amongst our CIONET community of 10,000 digital leaders?

Accelerating value from strategic vendor partnerships
The history of public-private partnerships across government has a mixed record mixed in the UK and elsewhere. Few private vendors have met public sector expectations or provided full value to UK taxpayers. In many cases, complexities of the procurement process and lack of trust on both sides have inhibited a fruitful, long-term collaboration. It is now time to improve the buying process and overcome any disjoints between intended results and actual outcomes. Government institutions and their partners need to improve their respective understanding of current and future states to harness the full power of digital technologies. In this discussion evening we will share insights on: Building trust, honesty and transparency into working relationships to improve outcomes.

How to measure and validate business outcomes
In the words of a FTSE 50 CIO, ‘If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it’. Despite the many billions of dollars invested in IT and process improvement, few if any organisations can provide accurate measurements of business outcome. All we know is that productivity has stagnated over the last fifteen years in the UK. It is time now to demonstrate value if we are to invest further money into IT and digital transformation. Accenture and ServiceNow have developed methods and tools to measure value and mitigate risk in programme management. In this discussion evening they will share their experiences with leading organisations to help clarify: What are the key performance indicators (KPIs) that we should be measuring and how do we report these to the CFO and others How can we integrate risk and control management into our projects in ‘near real time’ to keep them on track Where do value stream mapping, agile and DevOps fit into this picture and do they help us to be more quantitative Is there a place for ‘value contracts’ so that suppliers and customers both share in better outcomes Accenture and ServiceNow welcome you to attend a discussion evening on the 18 April at L’Oscar, commencing at 18.30.

So, in a world where consumers make choices based on their perception of how safe an organisations’ technology and security are, how are you using technology to engender that trust and protect your revenues? Technology must provide the necessary safeguards around individual privacy and security. The IT and Cyber Leadership community is at the frontline of this challenge and is increasingly being held accountable when things go wrong. During our round table we will discuss: How has technology advanced to meet the challenges of trust erosion? How do we protect the value of your brand and increase revenue by using technology? What advances in technology and cyber security could help close the current gap? EY invites you to attend a dinner for female technology leaders at 18.30 on the 5th of April to be held at YYY venue. Lopa Ghosh and Lucy Rosemont, Partner’s at EY will introduce the topic with guest speak AAA. Roger Camrass of CIONET will be your host and as with all CIONET events, we believe that this meeting of minds will help empower you in your leadership role.

CIOFEST UK: THE QUEST FOR DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY
Let’s take back control! Digital sovereignty: the quest for control, choice and autonomy Our digital identity and integrity have become as precious as our physical identity and integrity. This is true for “us” as individuals, as companies or organisations, or even as countries. Data and digital flows are the foundations of our social functioning and primary source of value in the global digital economy. Still, a handful of Mega-Tech companies have been able to extract, monopolise and monetise our data over the last two decades. More than 90% of Western data is hosted in the US. Geopolitical actors use digital technology and data increasingly as tools of power. Legal initiatives such as the US Cloud Act or the Chinese Surveillance Legislation give their governments unlimited access to our data abroad. A cyber arms race is ongoing using a wide range of techniques, from blunt nation-state cyber-attacks to sophisticated social manipulation. In short, digitisation has made us as individuals, as businesses and as countries very dependent and vulnerable and hindered in capitalising on our own assets. As a result, individuals, organisations and governments are re-evaluating their external exposure and launching digital sovereignty-related initiatives to maintain or acquire physical and digital control over their strategic assets, including data, algorithms, and critical software. “‘Sovereign” means more than just national or European, it means that we have regained control over our own destiny. It’s about elements such as transparency, being able to tell (customers and citizens) where the data is; how it is stored, what security policies surround it, where the value goes, who owns the solution, and how to split responsibilities between all parties involved. What steps, if any, should we, our companies or governments take to regain control and restore our digital sovereignty? Join us on March 22nd at CIOFEST - our biggest Community Event of the year! We are bringing all CIONET countries and 1000+ Digital Leaders together to one glocal conference.

Eliminating Supply Chain Risks in the Financial Services Sector
As leading financial services organisations pursue operational resilience to meet customer demands, operating efficiencies, and increased margins they are adopting multiple cloud-based infrastructures and SaaS services. Such complexity contributes to an increased reliance on third parties across their ‘digital’ supply chains with an increased organisation wide risk exposure. The need for operational resilience and insights into digital supply chains is fast becoming a strategic imperative. Short term, supply chain insights can allow organisations to mitigate immediate risk allowing the right supplier and spend management decisions to be made. Longer term, it’s the cultivation of a stable environment for resource management, customer experience and the ability to pre-empt risk. This will empower organisations to innovate knowing they possess a stable supply chain. Interos the global leader in supply chain risk management partners with whyaye who facilitate outcome led, technology-enabled change using smart and efficient approaches, all enabled by the ServiceNow platform, delivering some of the largest and most successful IT transformations globally. Join subject matter experts from Interos and whyaye and guests from ServiceNow for a lively discussion, best practice sharing, strategies for adoption, and building frameworks for regulation success. How do organisations understand their supply chain and risks within it? What does an effective supply chain risk management programme and operating model look like? How can technology help enhance supply chain risk management? What are the common pitfalls that should be avoided, improving the probability of success? We will be hosting this event at The Walbrook Club on March 2nd, starting at 18.30. Roger Camrass of CIONET will be your facilitator. We believe that this meeting of minds will help empower you in your digital leadership role and gain insights on how to build resilience into your digital supply chains.

CIO Circle – Generating value from your software assets
With the explosion in Software as a Service (SaaS) offers, complex licensing terms and conditions and the productization of existing software assets, management challenges have escalated dramatically over the last two decades. Most large organisations have thousands of such assets and services, but few have full visibility. At the end of the day, the CIO has all the responsibility for managing such assets but must cope with distributed ownership. In the first CIO Circle event of 2023, we will discuss how effective management of all software assets can be achieved. We will share experiences on the following issues: How can CIOs maximise value from their software assets regardless of where they sit in the organisation? What are the best ways to register and monitor these assets in self sustainable model to drive optimization What are the latest approaches to smart contracting of software assets, and how does the CIO best manage its many vendor relationships? EY invites you to a discussion dinner to share its own experience in this critical area of IT management. We invite you to join us on 28 February at the Institute of Directors, commencing at 18.00. Roger Camrass of CIONET will be your host, alongside Krati Laad from EY and as with all CIONET events, we believe that this meeting of minds will help empower you in your digital Leadership role.

Power to the People – optimising the customer experience
For so many years organisations both public and private have talked about putting the ‘customer first’ but as consumers we continue to experience delays in accessing call centres, navigating complex websites, and processing tedious paperwork. This causes frustration and can challenge brand loyalty. Digital natives are taking full advantage of such shortcomings. Infogain has built a global reputation in helping to enrich the customer experience from the design of software products through to simplifying day-to-day customer interactions. Its clients enjoy greater brand loyalty and rapid innovation. In this roundtable we address key issues related to customer experience such as: Where design thinking can help focus joint business and IT fusion teams around improving the overall customer experience (both b2b and b2c) How traditional processes and legacy systems can be adapted to simplify and speed up customer interactions How a data-first approach from multiple sources can deliver deeper insights into customer preferences How agile working can help to introduce a new culture of software product innovation Infogain invites you to a discussion evening on the 23rd February. Vivek Sharma will introduce the topic with the CIO of the Rank Organisation. Roger Camrass of CIONET will be your host.
