In this industry expert session, Siemens’ Strategic Portfolio Manager will explain how data center infrastructure management (DCIM) can alleviate cost pressures for CIOs while removing additional business barriers through enhanced intelligence and improved agility. As your environment evolves to a more integrated IT and facility management approach, DCIM can overcome the struggle to collaborate more effectively and deliver optimal value for your business. | |

| 11:15 am - 12:00 pm | From C-Suite to Board Seat: What CIOs Need to Know Adam Hartung, Managing Partner, Spark Partners Business and IT leaders manage companies and solve problems, while board members direct those executives by asking the right questions. One manages while the other governs. In today’s enterprise, the board has a tremendous need to understand the role of IT, especially when disruptive technologies may undercut the organization’s core strengths or even devastate its core markets. Yet board members often don’t know enough about technology to address these critical issues, which is why they look for insight from CIOs and former CIOs to help them govern more effectively. It’s not a question of understanding industry jargon -- it’s understanding how to ask and answer the right questions. In this illuminating session, board veteran Adam Hartung, a former CIO and strategy consultant, will talk candidly about what CIOs need to know to bring greater value to their board interactions (and perhaps one day assume a board seat of their own). | |

"When you've done all that, what's next?" says this experienced former CIO of Thermo Fisher Scientific.
