HPE Carolinas CIO Executive Summit
April 26-29, 2018 Pinehurst, NC
The Changing Business of IT
Join HPE and select sponsors for an executive view into the evolving business of IT.
As IT evolves from delivering core infrastructure to providing real business value, the way we organize, align, and measure IT has changed.
CIOs need to be able to identify, measure, and analyzehow the business gauges IT’s success, both in terms of delivering core IT services and contributing to business value. What is needed is a set of relevant IT metrics that reveal how to “move the needle” on IT performance around these outcomes.
Further, IT leaders today have the opportunity to deliver contributions to their enterprise that go well beyond their area of specialization. We’ll examine how the process of change and change management is evolving, and how IT becomes the “Tip of the Spear” for the organization in driving the need for continual and meaningful change.
Our agenda promises to provide thought provoking insights into how the role of IT is changing.There will also be significant opportunity to socialize and have one-on-one engagement with peers in other organizations across and within your industry.Lastly, we promise sufficient time for you and a guest to enjoy legendary Pinehurst.
