If there’s one thing CEOs are demanding of CIOs, it’s driving “Digital Transformation.” But Digital Transformation needs and potential vary significantly by industry…there’s not a one size fits all rubric that CIOs can apply. And many of the models for transformation are native Tech firms that have built competitive differentiation largely on the basis of highly customized IT capabilities. In this session, we’ll discuss whether the time has come for CIOs to start rethinking how custom IT can drive the business, how should we think about Digital in the context of system of record rationalization, standardization, and simplification, what capabilities are available to scale robustly, and what are the learnings across different industries.
The next Princeton CIO Roundtable Breakfast will give you the chance to talk openly and candidly with your peers about Digital Strategy: the opportunities, the challenges, the risks, the work underway, and the strategies under consideration in your organizations.
Our discussion will be led by one of our regular Princeton CIO Roundtable attendees, Chris Knerr, CEO of Mareana. Chris was formerly a VP at Johnson & Johnson where he led multiple global IT-enabled transformation programs across all three sectors of J&J for 10+ years. Chris has extensive experience integrating strategy, technology and operations, with special focus on high complexity/white space problems; master data management; metrics and business performance measurement; and advanced analytics.
