To become an equal business partner, today’s CIO needs deep understanding on what other C-level peers do. What they contribute. How they succeed. CIOs should understand how their talents can extend the CEO’s vision, and strategies for market differentiation and competitive strength.
Interactive sessions draw on multiple teaching techniques to help you understand how:
- The CEO works with the board of directors to form business strategy and manage the intricacies of creating and sustaining shareholder value.
- CFOs contribute to long-term value, growth and profitability while applying practical applications of ROIC
- Marketing and Sales executives use customer-focused strategies to create value propositions that rise above the market noise.
This leadership development program is designed for corporate CIOs of large global organizations, as well as business unit CIOs from multi-national organizations, with revenues in excess of 2 billion dollars. The program is exclusive to CIOs who report into the CEO and seek the next level of professional development beyond CIO leadership.
Your ability to lead technology is a given. But taking a seat at the strategy table demands unquestionable business skills. You’ll leave the week with renewed skills and new techniques for moving your career to a new level of business partnership.
- Make a Difference in Your Organization — and Yourself: CIOs say their primary goals include "making a difference" in the ways their organizations use technology to drive growth and compete. Learn how to draw upon C-level peer talent to increase the value of your business contribution.
- Focused Time with Your Peers and Wharton and Gartner Faculty: Interact with the best of the Wharton faculty and top Gartner Executive Programs Researchers to gain objective perspectives on your unique issues.
