I’ve just arrived in Washington, DC, to speak at the Accenture Global CIO Forum. The theme of this year’s forum is IT Matters: Shaping the Future of the Enterprise. While many aspects of social media/digital communication have been handled by the Marketing and Communication teams within organizations, its increasing importance within strategic planning is making many CIOs stand up and take notice.
I’ll be on a panel discussing the implications of these developments on the CIO’s role. I’m pretty excited to hear the insights of some of the other panelists including:
- Elizabeth Hackenson, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, The AES Corporation
- Rob Webb, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Hilton Worldwide
- Richard Williams, Vice President and Group Chief Information Officer, AstraZeneca
The moderator will be my friend David Kirkpatrick, whose book “The Facebook Effect” comes out in a few days. Congrats, David!
I’m happy I get a few days to explore DC, will keep you all posted on my adventures.
