9:00am – 10:00am: Considerations for Innovative CIOs

 

James P. MacLennan, Managing Partner, Maker Turtle LLC

 

Your organization is going digital – whether they know it or not. New ideas and new tools are flooding in – and it’s your responsibility to make it fit with the tools and tech already in place.

 

There are ways to ride herd over this transformational change – and application architecture is only one of them. In this session, we will cover several topics that need to be on radar screen, if you want to be seen as the Innovative CIO that delivers. There are no silver bullets! But we will cover tested methods that address technology, as well as process, change, value, and people.

 

There is a way up this hill – and you are in a unique position to lead your organization to the summit. Join this session to learn more!

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is the technical framework of an enterprise but it also transcends technology and integrates with the business. Therefore, the discussion and implementation of EA needs to done in an integrated, holistic manner. An integrated EA (business and technical) can provide the necessary support for a business transformation that makes the business ready for the variety of business and technological challenges it will face. For example, technologies such Big Data, mobile and cloud computing are all highly disruptive technologies that require a fine balance between their business and technical aspects as the organization moves forward.

 

In this session, attendees will learn how to they need to reinvent and/or refine their EA to embrace a digital transformation.
