Leadership: Navigating Disruptive Dissonance

In the past, CIOs had time to look ahead and see around corners. They could view the market and theorize from where their newest competitior would stem. The widespread adoption of AI, and the threat to those who don't adopt it, have created an exponential pace and an existential crisis across enterprises. No longer can we see clearly nor predict the future, so we are "Real Time" in our decision making and leadership. The definition of 'Dissonance' is, "a tension or clash resulting from the combination of two disharmonious or unsuitable elements." Our session will highlight the disruptors, the need to hurry, and the evaluation risk, and the choices leaders need to make.

Visibility

In an era where executive visibility is essential for influence and impact, CIOs are increasingly turning to platforms like LinkedIn and podcasts to share insights, build thought leadership, and shape industry narratives. This fireside chat explores how strategic visibility not only elevates personal brand but also strengthens organizational credibility. Additionally, networking through philanthropy is emerging as a powerful avenue for CIOs to forge meaningful connections while aligning with purpose-driven initiatives. Together, these approaches position technology leaders at the intersection of innovation, influence, and impact.
