In many organizations, the first responders dealing with the strategic and tactical results of this disruption are CIOs, CMOs and their IT and marketing operations. Both groups deal with escalating demands from business colleagues, as unexpected new competitors arise and additional marketing opportunities open up, almost overnight. Both groups wrestle more directly now with the customer experience of clients, partners or consumers. During this thought-provoking discussion with DC-area IT and business leaders, we'll share ideas on fostering disruptive innovation, sharpening customer focus and ensuring that IT and marketing play their most effective roles in business model evolution.

![]() | Beyond the CIO/CMO Partnership: The Emergence of the Chief Digital Officer Dion Hinchcliffe, Chief Strategy Officer, Adjuvi How will IT be situated across companies as the C-Suite undergoes its greatest role shift for technology since the CIO was first established? In the last year, one of the hottest discussions for the executive leadership team has been about the changing customer experience and the necessity of closer collaboration between CIOs and Chief Marketing Officers. Few business leaders dispute this, but a new role is popping up in the executive mix at many companies: the Chief Digital Officer. Charged with the strategic exploitation of digital assets across the organization, the CDO adds the potential for complexity (and overlap) while also boosting the dedicated digital focus of the C-Suite. Using examples from leading enterprises, Dion will explore how the CDO role is advancing, how and where IT responsibilities are being reallocated, and what impact this may ultimately have on evolving CIO/CMO relationships.
