SUMMARY:Engaging the Board Series in Conversation with Mr David Conner - 27 May 2013
DESCRIPTION:The primary focus of his talk was on ITMA’s theme for this year “Engaging the Board”. He started things off by making it clear that while the buck stopped with the CEO\, it was up to the entire C-suite\, including the CIO\, to be fully in sync and work as a team to support the CEO and engage the board. \n\n\n\n7TH CIO Executive Program\, “Engaging The Board” series\, in conversation with Mr David Conner on 27th May 2013 @ Fullerton Bay Hotel. \nOn May 27th\, the Clifford at Fullerton Bay Hotel was host to almost 80 of the leading Chief Information Officers and IT industry leaders in Singapore. They were gathered for an intimate dinner and an enlivening talk by award-winning former Group CEO of OCBC Bank\, David Conner. \n \nThe primary focus of his talk was on ITMA’s theme for this year “Engaging the Board”. He started things off by making it clear that while the buck stopped with the CEO\, it was up to the entire C-suite\, including the CIO\, to be fully in sync and work as a team to support the CEO and engage the board. \nHe continued to stress the importance of collaborating with business decision makers in order to align technology and business objectives to support business strategy\, customers\, products\, and delivery. Additionally\, such collaboration across the various functional silos in an organisation could be crucial in providing value and seamless service to customers. \nMr Conner then turned his attention to the role of the CIO within the boardroom and the three key opportunities he has to engage the board\, i.e. when requesting funding\, when providing project updates\, and when reporting bad news. In order to be effective and obtain approval\, CIOs must be able to make a compelling case to the Board and in doing so he must communicate in a language the latter would find meaningful. \nWhile making his case\, Mr Conner pointed out that\, a CIO needs to be able to demonstrate the value of proposed investments to shareholders\, customers\, and employees alike. Furthermore\, CIOs must recognise the financial aspects of investments and remain cognisant of the potential for “runaway costs”. The key is to maximise the value of all IT investments and not to splurge on every new product and gadget. Similarly\, it is better to remove defects out of the current system before investing in a new one. \nMr Conner’s final point on his first topic was on transparency. Although it is great if to be able to deliver on projects\, it is equally important that in the event that promises are not kept the truth should not be hidden or sugar coated: “honesty is still the best policy” and transparency is key in building trust. \nThe recently retired Conner also took this opportunity to impart his experience on leadership. One of the key takeaways was the ignorance associated with leadership. As one rises up the corporate ladder\, problems are often hidden from the leader. The onus is on the leader to be humble and listen to his people. \n \nThe dinner gave guests the rare opportunity to glean expert advice on leadership and management. One participant was curious as to how management can remain focused on maintaining and improving current systems\, rather than be mesmerised by every hot new product. Mr Conner\, acknowledging the difficulties of rallying towards a common objective\, pointed out that OCBC was successful at implementing its processes because all the business and functional heads reported to one person – Mr Conner\, himself. \n \nWe were also treated to the highlights of the upcoming ITMA CIO Executive Program & Overseas Trip (by Lai Khim of the Planning Team) to the global hub of technology and innovation: Silicon Valley. The trip will include visits to every major tech company in Silicon Valley\, including Google\, Dreamworks\, Unity Technologies\, LinkedIn and Facebook. Signup early and book your seat on the trip! \nWe look forward to you joining us for the next ITMA CIO Executive Programme “Engaging the Board” event on 28 June 2013 from 7pm to 10pm.

SUMMARY:Engaging the Board Series in Conversation with Mr Seah Moon Ming - 28 June 2013
DESCRIPTION:On June 28th\, the majestic Alkaff Mansion played host to 60 of the leading Chief Information Officers and IT industry leaders in Singapore. \n\n\nOn June 28th\, the majestic Alkaff Mansion played host to 60 of the leading Chief Information Officers and IT industry leaders in Singapore. The evening’s festivities included a scrumptious meal\, beautiful music\, and of course the highlight\, an energizing talk by much acclaimed Group CEO of Pavilion Energy and Senior Managing Director of Temasek International\, Mr Seah Moon Ming. \nThe 3rd ITMA CIO Executive Program dinner event continued the theme of “Engaging the Board”\, and in his talk Mr Seah focused on the topic of the changing role of CIOs. Mr Seah began his presentation by emphasising the importance of the Board of Directors; indeed he likened them to a “powerful God-like committee”. Nevertheless\, they are still human beings who need accurate information in order to make reasoned decisions. \nMr Seah explained that the Board’s most important roles are to ensure that the business runs smoothly and to look after the interests of shareholders\, employees\, and creditors alike. \nHe juxtaposed this by highlighting that the Board has little or no experience in IT\, and that they are usually guided by the CEO. Hence\, the main job of the CIO then becomes to inform the Board on topics related to IT and to assist the CEO in communicating with the Board. In doing both tasks\, the CIO must demonstrate the value of IT to the Board. \nMr Seah then went into more detail regarding the specifics of a CIO’s role. The importance of technology in products\, services and communications\, has expanded the role of a CIO\, formerly called an “IT Manager”. Indeed\, the CIO’s role goes beyond simply keeping the software up-to-date. He must be able to grow the business to remain competitive and find strategies to spur innovation. \nFirst\, the CIO must be able to guide the company’s IT agenda which is the “IT” part of the CIO’s role. This may seem obvious\, but it is important to stay cognizant of the fact that the CIO is still in charge of the technology within the company. A part of this role is to demonstrate the return on investment for IT-related projects to the Board. \nSecond\, the CIO must tame the vast data resources to enable project leaders to make better decisions. This is the “Information” part of the CIO’s role which is to leverage on information as an asset. In so doing\, CIOs should also protect the organization against cyber thefts and threats\, failing which the organization’s and Board’s reputation will be at stake. \nThird\, the CIO must be able to spur innovation\, drive growth and answer the question “how can we use IT to do things better?” \nMr Seah cited the SARS epidemic as an example of how CIOs helped manage the situation by spreading the IT infrastructure across many locations. In short\, CIOs helped sustain the business by using IT. \nMr Seah\, concluded that the “I” in CIO should now stand for Chief “Innovation” Officer as the role must be seen less about developing & deploying technology and more as a source of innovation and transformation that delivers business value and leverages technology. In sum\, the role of CIO must be strategic\, rather than tactical. \nIn ending his talk\, Mr Seah\, spoke briefly about many of the new terms entering the CIO lexicon\, such as “social media evangelist”\, “cloud integration specialist”\, “user experience guru”\, “information insights enabler” and ”technology broker”. He stressed that a CIO must be able to embody all of these roles in order to serve his company and Board. \nThe evening concluded with a lovely musical piece and a delicious meal and Planning Committee member\, Ms Poh Lai Khim\, presented the highlights of the upcoming 7th ITMA CIO Executive Program & Study Trip to the global hub of technology and innovation: Silicon Valley. The trip will include visits to major tech company in Silicon Valley\, including Google\, Dreamworks\, and Facebook\, as well as discussions with leading technologists\, including Ray Kuzweil\, Mark McLaughlin\, and David Helgason\, amongst others. Signup early and book your seat on the trip! \nWe look forward to you joining us for the next event\, the ITMA CIO Executive Summit 2013 on 24 July 2013 from 2pm to 8pm at the Hotel Intercontinental Singapore. There will be a host of illuminary speakers including John Sculley\, the former CEO of PepsiCo and Apple Computer. This is certainly an event not to be missed!
