Program Notes

AGENDA

10:00 - 12:00 p.m.    CIO Forum (CIOs and Partners only)

The CIO Forum will discuss “People Strategies: The IT Organization of the Future,” with Linda M. Pittenger, President and CEO of People³, Inc. and Ryan Nelson serving as moderator.  (View presentation slides.)

The primary objective of this program will be to facilitate an open dialogue among participants focused on the evolving issues of managing IT human capital from the CIO's perspective, including how to best organize and structure the IT group (see related CIO article). For example, given Capital One's somewhat unique dual-CIO arrangement, Marge Connelly, co-CIO of Capital One, will describe the pros and cons of such an arrangement with the group.

In order to make the discussion more informative for all participants, we ask that each CIO/Partner consider the following:

¨       What are the most critical IT human capital issues facing your organization today? One year from now?

¨       What impact has the demands of e-commerce, the growth of IT outsourcing, the emergence of business executives making technology decisions, and the renewed debate over whether the CIO’s role is strategic or tactical, had on your organization?

¨       How will your IT organization be structured in the future? Are there competing models of organization that your firm/agency is considering?

   1:00 -   3:00 p.m.    Presentation by Linda Pittenger, President &
                                        CEO, People³, Inc.
