With the recovery from the economic crisis already beginning to take shape IDC’s Saudi Arabia CIO Summit 2011 will focus on a pressing theme: the 'Winning Strategies of Empowered CIOs'. In challenging times it takes sharp minds, wits, and creativity to rejuvenate organizations, so this event will examine the strategies that enable CIOs to go that extra mile during periods of uncertainty.
A slowed-down economy presents the perfect opportunity for enterprises – big and small alike – to re-evaluate their existing workforce productivity and effectiveness and to realign their business strategies. The most pressing issue at this juncture for CIOs is to educate their organizations' board members and stakeholders on the benefits of effectively aligning IT with the objectives of all individual business units within the organization. Indeed, they must effect change with transparency, efficiency, and urgency.
How can CIOs reignite the momentum and help rejuvenate businesses? What winning strategies can they adopt in their organizations to maintain their market share while growing their business? IDC's Saudi Arabia CIO Summit 2011 will answer these questions by combining real-life insights from the Kingdom's most resilient enterprises, fresh perspectives from senior IDC analysts, and the collective intelligence of Saudi Arabia's top business leaders.
