From the team that brought to you 'David's dilemma', this year we present you: "Who's running this business?"
(The battle for innovation in the board room)
“Who’s running this business?” : what do the most succesful managers do to get their board of directors to let them carry out the innovative plans?
Like David's dilemma, the event will be interactive, the audience will be invited to engage and interact, creating a dynamic not often seen in conventional lectures and seminars. The evening will begin with a reception and the event will be followed by a walking dinner. “Who’s running this business?” is strictly ticket only.
Comprising of a select group of CIO's, CEO's, CFO's, Departmental Managers, Change Managers and Project Managers, the audience will bring their own experience of innovation and the battle to to have others see it in the same way as they do.
In modern SME’s it is classically the CEO that is the innovative driving force in the board room – new ideas, new vision, technologically aware etc. The CIO (if there is one) is often seen more as a technology implementer / project manager?
In multi-nationals, on the other hand, the CEO is usually the person that must steer his, or her, board (frequently a divergent group of experts and individualists) into some kind of common direction. In this environment the CIO's role is classically seen as the provider of creative innovation but in their lies their dilemma. The CIO's ideas are often seen as too technologically driven or radical, involving either too much risk and/or change.
The challenge for all boardroom innovators is therefore is convince their colleagues that change is absolutely necessary, without sounding desperate.
