Let's be honest. We have been living in an information age since Joe Gutenberg figured out that writing on animal skins and cave walls was not scalable. Despite changing the world - REPEATEDLY - IT folk have been under-funded and under-appreciated forever. The only way that is going to change is via informed, innovative and inspired personal leadership. That is the topic of the CIO Boot Camp at Interop Las Vegas 2011.
Real world CIOs will share real world war' stories about how to put real measurable valuable on the enterprise table in the emerging zones of IT heroism - cloud, mobility, analytics, social media and sustainability.
Participants will emerge from this two-day intensely interactive session with:
Self-Knowledge
Other Knowledge - How others are thinking
Environmental Knowledge - What is really happening in the tech world today
Movement Knowledge - What are the change vectors
Value Knowledge - Where money/mission value can be delivered
CIO BOOT CAMP AGENDA
Hear from past CIO Boot Camp attendees:
"The CIO Posse challenges and inspires. I have already put together ideas and strategies that I am working on. While these folks talk about multi-billion dollar enterprises, their ideas and advice are universal across enterprises of all sizes."
"The CIO Boot Camp was worth the entire cost of the Flex Pass."
"I love the interactive element of the CIO Boot Camp. It really allows the creative juices to flow."
"Thornton's wrap up presention on Day 2 of CIO Boot Camp was more than just entertaining--it was awesome. "
"Mark Greenlaw at CIO Boot Camp was, by far, the very best presentation of the conference. He captured my attention, my imagination, and my go-forward interest in green IT/sustainability. It was excellent!"
"The open forum format is great for gaining information from the CIO panel, very insightful information and experience among them all!"
"The CIO Boot Camp was my highlight, it was inspiring and taught me a great deal of what areas I can focus on to move up in the IT world."
"Loving the no nonsense approach taken by CIOs."
"Helping me groom both mentally and strategically for future CIO position."
"All speakers were full of energy. I feel I came away with some useful tips on how I can develop into a much better person as well as leader."
"Often when you go to a conference your primary thought is that you will never go to that conference again. The CIO Boot Camp was excellent and I would highly recommend it."
