Progress through change is the only real direct measure of innovation; but at-scale change can (rightly) feel daunting. On one hand, an avalanche of new technologies create hype, noise, and options that CIOs are pressured to consider. On the other hand, we live in a world of scarcity - from energy, to time, to skills. No large-scale innovation starts as such - when done right, it often begins with individuals who are willing to ‘think big but start now’ and try something different to achieve a new and better outcome. So how do IT leaders tow the line of adopting new technologies that drive innovation, with measured decision making to optimise, reduce and secure IT infrastructure?

Join our boardroom session for a peer-led discussion on:

• How to manage pockets of innovation to drive real value without overlapping or contradicting one another
• Transforming your “Innovation Hub” to influence the masses vs. small scale execution
• Avoiding creating long-term anti-patterns such as silos of expertise
• Getting comfortable with failure and failing fast: innovation isn’t about getting it right 100% of the time
• Enabling innovation in a secure and optimised way
• Managing "hype" without stagnating progress

Content is your business. Valuable assets like sales contracts, product specs, marketing assets, and videos are at the heart of every process, no matter your industry. But your content faces constant threats from malicious hackers and even well-meaning employees.

Access to corporate networks tended to be more controlled pre-Covid as employees were either in the office and secured via local and network credentials or used VPN to access systems. In both cases, employees are accessing content through corporate-controlled mechanisms. Now, this is not their sole access point with transition to a hybrid work environment.

In this boardroom discussion let’s evaluate how you can create a unified approach to protecting the content that supports your customers and enables your teams — anytime, anywhere, and on any device.

The State of the API 2022 reports that 51% of developers spend more than half of their company's development efforts on APIs. That's up from 40% and 49% the years before. For such a bulk portion of an organization's time, do we really treat APIs as strategic assets? Or are APIs still just a means to an end? In this talk we try to explain the current standard for API development and how much efficiency and productivity is left on the table on a daily basis.
