Every year the Fisher CIO Leadership Program and Gartner host a major three-part event:
The Landmark CIO Community Event, a full-day seminar on current technology topics, which is followed by
The Renaissance CIO Banquet and awarding of the
Fisher-Hopper Prize for Lifetime Achievement in CIO Leadership.
Theme for the Landmark Seminar: Becoming the Digital CIO
Every industry will be digitally re-mastered. Total digital reinvention seen so far in industries like music and photography will occur everywhere. The temptation for many IT organizations in building the digital business is often to focus on technologies first and foremost rather than on people. Successful development of digital business — essential for the survival of every enterprise — demands effective visionary leadership and excellent operational delivery from the Digital CIO and his/her Team. When we refer to the Digital CIO, we mean the CIO who is leading all or part of the technology in an enterprise that has substantially achieved a transformation to a digital business model, or that was born digital.
BECOMING THE DIGITAL CIO means embracing an expanded role overseeing all technology enterprise-wide, driving innovative talent acquisition and development and taking accountability for the creation and delivery of digital business results.
Digitally re-master your own future and interact in plenary sessions and 1:1 meetings with esteemed Berkeley professors, role-model CIOs and distinguished Gartner analysts such as: Professor Dacher Keltner, Patty Hatter, Graham Waller, Patty Morrison and Mark Raskino.
The Fisher CIO Leadership Program established the Fisher-Hopper Prize for Lifetime Achievement in CIO Leadership in 2012:
- to honor the lifetime achievements of two extraordinary individuals, Don Fisher and Max Hopper
- to annually honor a currently active CIO for his or her lifetime achievements in CIO leadership
- to ensure by the addition of the annual prize winner to the list of Renaissance CIOs, the “in perpetuity” continuance of the Renaissance CIO group.
