Here is What is on the Minds of the CIOs! – Group Discussion

The mind of the CIO can be a very scary place. The pace of technology and the need to secure just about everything has the mind of the CIO reeling to find a way to solve problems. This session will unlock that scary place. The topics discussed here will be derived from the group discussions held during the morning sessions. This afternoon session will be a deeper dive into what is fresh on the list. This is a terrific opportunity to share what has worked, what has been challenging and how can the sharing help all the CIOs in the room.

What’s Next? – Group Discussion

The question hanging over everyone’s head is: Now, what do we do next? CIOs work diligently to strategically plan for the future and to engage with their peers to make sure they are getting it right. This session will use the previous discussions to harvest stuff that needs to get done. This session will also be used to pair up CIOs and technology partners who can help each other on the many pressing initiatives. An Action Item List will be created with a schedule of engagement to commence after the event, including how the Center for Digital Government can ensure the discussion continues to move forward. We will all work together to make government better!
