CIO Golf Day

Pivoting to an AI-Ready Organization

The Houghton Hotel, Johannesburg, South Africa
Overview

As disruption and economic headwinds continue to cast a shadow on the business landscape, CIOs must move beyond their usual focus on operational efficiency to help their organizations cope with macro challenges. The four storms of disruption — rising interest rates, tech sector layoffs, the GenAI revolution, and rising global tensions — have caused business executives to cautiously prepare for yet another unpredictable year.

Today, CIOs must have a solid grasp of leadership as well as a clear understanding of the profound impact that rapidly evolving technologies such as GenAI can have upon resilience and effectiveness. They must challenge IT providers and sourcing processes to find new value in the near term while staying the course with IT investments for the long term. With anticipated disruptions from GenAI, the opportunity for CIOs to deliver value has never been greater despite these troubled economic times.

Featuring expert insights from senior analysts and thought leaders, the IDC CIO Golf Day will delve into the challenges facing CIOs as they strive to reduce technology debt and build resilient, agile digital infrastructure, all while enjoying a round of golf.
