One of the greatest management changes of the last decade has been the dramatic penetration of technology in every business operation and consequently, decision. As a result, the role of the Chief Information Officer has transformed rapidly. CEOs rely increasingly on their CIO not only to help them make investment decisions but equally in developing business strategy in the first place: the ‘what’ before the ‘how’.

In response, CIOs need to reinvent their own capabilities. While technical knowledge and expertise remains without doubt one of their greatest assets, the difference between ‘technology competence’ and ‘business leadership’ will be the CIO’s ability to see the big picture…not just to understand technology but to go beyond it.

The India CIO Forum has been created to fulfil this need. Unlike the multitude of (often vendor-driven) services that exist across the board, IMA’s India CIO Forum provides an unbiased and authoritative platform that specifically aims to take the CIO beyond technology. Briefing sessions hosted in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore, are built around strategic business imperatives relating to, originating from, technology. Sessions receive authoritative individuals and practitioners as speakers. All sessions are closed-door and interactive so discussions are intense, frank and practical.

To maintain the ongoing seniority and relevance of the peer group, membership to the India CIO Forum is by invitation only and restricted to the senior-most individual in the IT function of an organisation. To know more, browse through the tabs above, or write to us.
