Managing Complexity: Strategies for Growth in Times of Uncertainty

THE CIO SUMMIT® 2002
November 11-12, 2002, Hilton Toronto Hotel

THE CIO SUMMIT® 2002, the 10th annual, addressed the overriding issues challenging most organizations today. All corporations, institutions and governments are faced with an ever-increasing level of complexity in the challenges to use technology to help make the correct decisions, produce the right value and create something substantive. This is the environment from which last year’s CIO SUMMIT® drew its theme: Managing Complexity. It spoke to the challenges we all face in better understanding the intricacies of the future of business – not of technologies per se, but of the relationship between technology, business – and success.

Among the themes to explored:
• Outsourced/managed services
• E-business: The next wave
• Managing risk
• Knowledge management/business intelligence

The past decade has brought unimaginable change to the world of business, much of it predicated on the evolution of technology. To say that we are never at a loss for new issues to explore and new insights to share with you would be an understatement. Each year’s theme promises to address topics high on the agendas of CIOs, CEOs, CFOs and other senior executive.
