Toronto – March 2, 2016 – The IT Media Group is pleased to announce two new Masters Series CIO Roundtables beginning in April: “CIO Priorities to Survive and Thrive in Lean Times” and “Winning the IT Talent Wars”. We wish to thank Salesforce for their sponsorship of both events.

The current speed and velocity of change has created an unprecedented challenge to CIOs tasked with maintaining a strategy that best serves the needs of the business. For the CIOs in Alberta, there’s another dimension to that challenge as the economic crisis forces executives to rethink their operational goals, business models, strategies and to a certain degree, their careers.

On April 7^th, Calgary area CIOs will share strategies for coping with the present economic realities. They will explore tactics and innovative ideas to direct their focus not only towards addressing short-term challenges, but also towards developing a sustainable growth strategy.  

Amidst the current economic downtown, maintaining the right mix of IT skills is a struggle made more challenging by the increasing pace of business and technology change. The role of IT needs to evolve along with these changes.

On April 28^th, Toronto area CIOs will explore how IT skill requirements are evolving and the challenges CIOs face in maintaining an effective work force. Participants will share ideas and successful practices for the recruitment, training and retention of IT staff.  They will discuss how workplace culture and practices are impacted as digital-savvy millennials make up a growing percentage of the workforce.

“These topics are extremely relevant and compelling to our CIO community”, said Nasheen Liu, Partner & VP, Strategy at The IT Media Group. “We look forward to strategizing winning tactics with some of the brightest minds across key industries”.
