April 22-24, 2018 — Fairmont Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, ON
While the overall theme of our CIO & CISO Digital Transformation and CIO & CISO Public Sector Canada Summits was “Digital Transformation Is a Journey, Not a Destination, discussions over the course of the two days highlighted the imperative for a collaborative, partnership approach in order to deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions to the diverse communities served. Moreover, organizations will need to increase their risk appetite to truly start disrupting.
Alex Benay’s ‘Government Next’ keynote set the tone for discussions, highlighting the need to anticipate skills required for the organization of the future. We need to work as a community to innovate our companies, but security needs to be designed in from the beginning instead of being an afterthought. In addition, we discussed how digital transformation requires speed and agility. Speed requires Trust. Trust requires us to engage not only boards and other senior leaders, but also those who will be implementing the key projects that comprise the digital transformation journey. Engaging requires us to be great story tellers of WHY – “Why we need to do what needs to be done.”
We are confident that you created new connections with your peers, uncovered one or more new ideas that will impact your digital transformation efforts and found several new solution providers that can help your achieve your goals. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
