Key Takeaways

  • A greater understanding of the evolving role of the CTO and what skillsets recruiters need to identify in their senior IT leaders

Meeting Agenda

As the impact of IT projects spreads throughout the various business functions,  the role of the CTO/IT Director has had to undergo significant change to keep up. As a result, the skills and knowledge of successful tech leaders has diversified and expanded beyond technical infrastructure to all business functions, and along with that, a more in depth understanding of what it is that makes the business tick.

 

In this session we will explore the evolving skillset being demanded by companies from their tech leaders and senior leaders, including change management, marketing and HR, and what recruiters need to be aware of when sourcing candidates.
