Winners' Talk: Vision, Courage, and Digital Leadership in Action
|
|
Two CIO of the Year award winners – each from a completely different world, each facing their own unique challenge. One comes from public healthcare, where change requires patience, diplomacy, and long-term vision. The other comes from the fast-paced world of startups, where success depends on speed, courage, and the ability to seize the right moment. How differently – and yet similarly – do they think about digital transformation, leadership, and their responsibility towards their teams, customers, and society?
This interview-style session will offer an honest exchange of experiences, successes, and lessons learned the hard way. The conversation will cover:
- what it really means to be a digital leader today,
- how to build trust in an organization to enable change,
- what happens behind the scenes of successful digital projects,
- why sometimes saying “no” matters more than saying “yes”,
- and where leaders look for inspiration — even when they themselves inspire others.
