HMG Lead, Innovate, Disrupt Tech Talk: Adapting to the Future-State Economy: Disrupt or Perish
Charles Dougherty, VP & Economist, Wells Fargo
In today’s highly disruptive times, technologies are driving massive wealth creation and new business models at an unprecedented pace. These macro-economic shifts are wreaking havoc on industry titans - more than half of the companies currently on the Fortune 500 list won't be there in 2025. This is prompting members of the boardroom and C-suite in forward-looking organizations to actively evaluate how advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning, robotic process automation (RPA) and analytics can create both incredible opportunities and risks. This session will address how macro-economic shifts and technology disruption are forcing executives to re-evaluate their current business models in their endeavors to help the enterprise innovate and survive.

EXECUTIVE KEYNOTE: A Perspective on Transformation
Bev Crair, VP, Product Development and Quality, Lenovo
Transformation has become a need, not a want. CIOs have the opportunity to make great transformations, both in the effectiveness of their traditional role and in adding value in new ways. Success for IT organizations is no longer about ‘supporting the business’. CIOs must innovate while executing… must lead while taking direction from the businesses they support. They must be visionaries and tacticians all at once.
Bev Crair, Lenovo Data Center Group’s Vice President of Development and Quality, will share her vision of the enterprise IT environment in 2025. Encompassing technology, market and workforce trends, her analysis will illustrate where CIOs need to focus and innovate to lead their companies through transformation.
