The centre of gravity in digital transformation has shifted—and many technology leaders haven’t caught up.
Online Webinar | Expert Panel | Q&A
Across industries, digital power is decentralising. Business-led teams are making their own technology decisions, shaping their own customer journeys, and moving at speeds traditional IT governance can’t match. In many organisations, the CIO is no longer the gatekeeper—but isn’t yet the enabler either.
The age of centralised IT is over. Transformation now happens at the edges.
This session explores the evolving role of CIOs, CTOs and tech leaders—and why those who cling to control risk being sidelined. Survival now depends on shifting from ownership to orchestration, and from governance to guidance.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- How digital decision-making is moving from IT to the business—and what that really means
- Why many CIOs are being bypassed, and how to re-establish relevance
- The critical difference between enabling technology and controlling it
- Patterns that keep IT stuck: project overload, slow governance, siloed architecture
- What digital-native organisations do differently—and why it matters
- The new model of tech leadership: coaching, convening, and building capability across the enterprise
This is the third session in The Brutal Truth Series—a set of unapologetic discussions for transformation leaders who want to deal with the reality, not the rhetoric.
If you’re in technology leadership and still trying to ‘own’ transformation, this is your moment to rethink—and reframe—your role.
