Agenda

Description text

Join our Opening Panel session moderated by Balaji Anbil, Lead Enterprise Architect - UK Ministry of Defence

CISO's alongside CIO's are key players in enabling an organisation to evolve and execute strategy securely and rapidly - but do CEO's give the necessary attention and priority so that organisations can collaborate effectively?

Join our security and IT focused panel as they discuss the changing relationship between the CISO and the CIO; are CISO's transformational, are CIO's exposed at board level and is working together enough to ensure those trust levels are maintained?

  • Balaji Anbil, Lead Enterprise Architect - UK Ministry of Defence
  • Lee Whatford, CISO - Dominos
  • Rob Greig, Global CIO - Arup
  • Claire Deuchar, CIO - RNLI
  • Niall Carter, Head of UK Enterprise - Ring Central

The global pandemic has dramatically changed how we work and how we feel about going back to our offices. A global survey found that less than 9% of the global workforce expect to fully return to the office. The hybrid workplace is here to stay. To that end, it is more important than ever that the leaders of today understand the urgency of preparing for the new era of work.

Hear from Vaughan Klein, Director, Cisco Collaboration EMEAR to:

• Discover the hybrid workplace, a new people-centric approach to work that supports a blend of in-office and remote workers.
• Learn how this new paradigm augments workplace with technology, creating an environment where employees everywhere have meaningful interactions that drive lasting value for your business
• Understand how intelligent, inclusive and immersive experiences that are essential for driving a successful and safe return-to-office strategy.

Join this Keynote session with Rob Greig, Group CIO - Arup.

The IT industry is rife with outdated, and sometimes racist and misogynistic language. Rob Greig discusses how as IT leaders we can recognise these issues and the impact they have on developing truly equal, diverse and inclusive teams.

Join this Keynote session in association with Cloudreach.

The era of IT-driven adoption of cloud technologies is over. The Era of large-scale business transformation is here. Join this keynote session as we discuss the move to cloud-native enterprises and what it means for the CIO.

2022 is the year that companies will leave behind the era of IT-led cloud adoption, moving through business experimentation with the cloud, towards large-scale, all-encompassing transformation initiatives. However, effectively adopting the cloud-native enterprise will require modernization in leadership, reskilling teams for the digital mindset as well and modernization and management of data. Join us to discuss how your CIO peers compare managing services across the wider business and measure the success of transformation in the cloud-native enterprise.

Learn how Self-Learning AI can take precise action to neutralize threats, augmenting the capabilities of security teams without disrupting the regular flow of business. Real-world case studies will also be used throughout this session.

Join this interactive Boardroom session with Claire Deuchar, CIO - RNLI

The Situation: 2020 The pandemic has started and everyone is looking at how they can generate funds to keep their organisation going. For the RNLI that meant a pivot in fundraising to digital fundraising, a real focus on our donors and the need to improve our speed.

The Change: The RNLI (with partners) used capability modelling to map what would have the greatest impact on our fundraising and to support our donors. For commercial organisations this would be customer growth and sales numbers.

The Impact: Simplified set of priorities (from 11 to 2). A common set of goals across teams and a joint way of working. An increase in supporters (loyal customers)

What’s Next: Capability modelling for the organisation looking at our complete delivery model, to prioritise impactful change and be part of our ERP scoping.

Large scale transformation is a noble pursuit. The complete digitisation of products and platforms, enterprise-wide cloud migrations, contact centre modernisation – the list goes on. But what happens to everyday ingenuity when you focus company talent, time, and money on multi-year programs?

Everyday ingenuity encapsulates everything from moving the dial on user experiences and internal processes, to introducing innovation labs that challenge the status quo and welcome new ideas to business challenges. Whilst not regarded as impressive as the delivery of a transformation program, these smaller innovations succeed in engaging employees, attracting new talent, satisfying customers, and giving stakeholders something tangible to buy-in to. They add purpose to the everyday, so you have the right people for long-term transformation.

This talk looks at the benefits of everyday ingenuity, the importance of innovating for employees and customers, and how to retain talent in a very competitive market!

  • Discover cyber security strategies to protect your data and estate and learn how to build a solid cyber resilience plan for your organisation’s infrastructure.

Cloud native technologies like Kubernetes and containers promise easy workload migration, enhanced segmentation of workloads, and faster patching. But the declarative configuration paradigm also widens opportunities for misconfiguration, and security testing is key to hardening and keeping a system secure.

In this talk, ControlPlane CEO Andrew Martin demonstrates lessons learned from 9 years of container-based consulting with real hacks against cloud native systems: from the open-source supply chain and contributor risk, through zero-day container breakouts, to cloud account compromise.

Andrew has been consulting with containerised systems since 2013, and securing government, banking, and critical infrastructure systems. He is co-chair of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s Security Technical Advisory Group, Chief Technical Security Office at OpenUK, author of "Hacking Kubernetes" for O’Reilly, author of SANS’ cloud-native curriculum, and a long-standing open-source security evangelist.

As the application of Artificial Intelligence becomes easier for organisations, what checks and balances do you have in place to ensure that just because you can do something, it's something that you should be doing?

Arunava Bag, CTO,EMEA - Digitate

Join this interactive Boardroom in association with RingCentral.

Our latest study tells us that 40% of UK employees feel that working hybrid or remotely during COVID has made them feel more lonely and isolated at work. On top of this, we’ve also found that 25% of workers will look for a new job if their employer forces them to go back into the office every day.

This tells us that while employees are craving more in-person connection, they still want flexibility.

How can technology help businesses get the balance right?

During this boardroom session we’ll discuss:

  • The options businesses have when transitioning to hybrid
  • Why making the switch to new communications tools that support hybrid working doesn’t need to be an administrative headache
  • Common challenges related to hybrid work and how to overcome them
  • Strategies that are working well for other businesses
  • The benefit of having all communications in one place.

Niall Carter, Head of UK Enterprise - Ring Central
