CIO Summit
In-Person Event | The Forum, The Campus, Bryanston | May 11, 2022
With digital agendas accelerating significantly over the last two years, the result has been a continuously changing and increasingly digitally driven world. IDC research shows that 54% of Sub-Saharan Africa CIOs have brought forward their digital agendas by at least one year – and 16% by almost two years – following the upheaval of 2020. Many of these CIOs are now actively reviewing and exploring new digital business models and ecosystem partnerships for the long term.
Whether they're building resilient digital infrastructures or addressing the unique demands of a distributed workforce, CIOs are adapting their organizations to meet a new set of challenges and rethinking their leadership practices for a digital-first world. They are accelerating their digital investments and building organizations that adapt to evolving business requirements and capitalize on change.
The 2022 edition of the IDC South Africa CIO Summit will explore the increasing pace of innovation, examine the country's evolving technology landscape, and present best-practice strategies that will help organizations transform themselves into digitally resilient future enterprises.
