How to scale a winning AI strategy?
2022-04-21 18:30 - 21:00 | 1 Cuscaden Road,, Singapore 249715, Singapore
Dear ITMA Members,
According to McKinsey, by building machine learning into processes, leading organizations are increasing process efficiency by 30% or more while also increasing revenues by 5%-10%.
However, there is a lot of decision making and automation along the way and that can bring risks to the equation. This leads us to the following questions:
– How do organizations ensure their AI transformation aligns with their strategic goals and delivers meaningful impact for the business?
– How do organizations set themselves up to get started and then scale the use of AI across the business in a governed way?
– How do organizations create resilient AI-driven assets to maximize impact?

The Evolving Role of The CIO
2022-08-29 18:30 - 21:00 | 3 Temasek Blvd, #02 - 401 Singapore, 038983, Singapore
Dear ITMA Members,
William R. Synott coined the term “Chief Information Officer”, in his book “Information Resource Management” in 1981, in which he described the CIO as the “senior executive responsible for establishing corporate information policy, standards, and management control over all corporate information resources.” The term did not really catch on until the 1990s, when more and more IT managers were transformed into CIOs. Over the course of 30 years, the basic roles of the CIO have not changed much, but a lot of new responsibilities were added along the way. This talk examines what organizations expected of the CIO over the last 30 years and what do they expect of the CIO in the future. Will the role eventually disappear, or will there be additional C-level IT roles created to maintain an organization’s digital edge?
