CIO UK Live Series - May Edition 2022

Overview

The CIO can be seen as the ultimate cheerleader for all in-house technology and digital processes. IT traditionally has a nebulous reputation with other business units – so it is the role of the CIO to improve the image and reputation of IT services within the company. The CIO isn’t only tech-focused: a good CIO integrates the entire IT department with other business units, so knowledge of the common as a whole is imperative. For example, if a business unit seeks technology to digitise, improve, or even automate processes, the CIO is responsible for managing these processes, even if a specific IT team performs the actual implementation.

Agenda

• 8:00 pm Thought Leadership: The Complicated Relationship with Shadow IT(Plenary) In a not-so-distant past, shadow IT was a one of the more pressing business challenges that kept many CIOs and CISOs up at night. While still an issue deserving of thought-provoking conversation, it’s no longer the top pain point it once was. Instead, the conversation has shifted. The increase in remote working, and the resulting work to ensure staff have access to the right tools to help them do their job from anywhere, has sparked a more nuanced response to the issue of shadow IT. This is due to the resurgence of shadow IT activities spawned by remote or hybrid work environments. Yes, shadow IT must be addressed but through visibility rather than control.
