OVERVIEW
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Consumers are kings, machines and people are connected with geographical barriers fading in significance. Digitalisation and unprecedented connectivity are redefining the competitive playing field for organisations today.
Regardless of our natural inclinations, we are already experiencing glimpses of profound technological change to come, promising to enable capabilities that can exponentially empower businesses, industries, and governments with game-changing implications.

Esteemed line-up of industry leaders and senior tech practitioners will also be sharing their insights on the new leadership competencies, best practices and digital strategies needed to leverage new technologies for competitive advantage.
CIO Academy Asia will also be presenting the key findings from the Tech Trends and Priorities Survey 2019, which will offer insights into the latest trends that will have a big impact on businesses and tech leaders, as we determine the tech priorities and directions for Malaysia and the South-East-Asian region in the next 1-2 years.
The second half of the day will feature executive workshops on innovation & design thinking, and legacy IT systems transformation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator style=”shadow” border_width=”10″ el_width=”10″][vc_column_text]
