    Preparing For Continuous Change

    In an interview with Carla Rudder of The Enterprisers Project, Chairman of the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium, Lindsey Anderson, explained how we are all preparing for continuous change.

    What are these changes? Here’s a preview of a few that we’ll discuss on May 24:

    Despite spending more on IT security, the risk of a breach continues to grow. How will organizations adapt? Join Michael Siegel, Principal Research Scientist & Associate Director, MIT-(IC)3, for the panel discussion Measuring ROI for Cybersecurity: Is It Real or a Mirage? 
    The customer experience is becoming increasing digitized for products across the board. How will IT units share responsibilities and coordinate efforts with other stakeholder groups? Join Nils Fonstad, Research Scientist, MIT Sloan Center for Information Systems Research, for the panel discussion Expanding the Reach of Digital Innovation.

    IT organizations are becoming “factories” that churn out digital capabilities. How will CIOs modernize IT applications, virtualize IT infrastructure, and automate data center operations? Join Steven Rosenbush, Editor, CIO Journal, Wall Street Journal for the panel discussion Running IT like a Factory.
    Talent in the digital age is hard to find and hard to keep. How will companies acquire and use talent to respond faster and collaborate effectively in the digital age?
