Partnering for Impact

CIOs are the linchpin of organizational digital transformation, navigating complex multifaceted challenges and opportunities during this dynamic era. 

C-Level Executives are more excited about new technologies than ever before and are willing to invest—which shifts the dynamic between CIOs and the rest of the business. 

CIOs shoulder the vital responsibility of harmonizing technology with strategic business objectives, not only keeping pace with the ever-changing technological landscape, but also mastering stakeholder management within the C-suite. And they do this all while addressing security concerns, compliance, opportunities with AI, and fostering a culture of democratized IT. 

Gartner CIO Leadership Forum 2024 will empower CIOs by providing them with the knowledge and connections required to thrive in this environment by 'Partnering for Impact'.

So many great sessions — could have filled my diary twice over! I’m taking more thoughts back for my team than they will be able to cope with in just one feedback meeting!

    Tracks at a Glance

    Gartner Leadership Forum 2024 focuses on the CIO role as the leader of the digital experience while building the relationship and executive skills needed to accelerate innovative business and technology strategies.

    Track A

    CIO as CxO

    For years, CIO leadership value was driven by technology advancements and operational requirements. Today, it is not technology that is driving role change but the need for CIOs to provide executive leadership in the C-suite. CIOs need to partner with executive peers to collectively achieve enterprise outcomes through digital capabilities. CIOs are now looked to for leadership beyond just traditional IT — all while driving business impact and C-suite partnership. In this track, we focus on how intentionally democratizing digital delivery achieves better business outcomes.

    Track B

    CIO as a Functional Leader

    It’s critical for the CIO to develop strategies that ensure their IT leadership team can run independent operational efforts, allowing them to focus on expanding their executive leadership influence. CIOs need to make sure the IT leadership team is functioning as a cohesive team and is capable of delivering all the leadership responsibilities to run the IT function effectively. In this track, we focus on organization design, business value of IT, talent and culture.
