You deserve a raise. Scratch that, you deserve a vacation and a raise. As an IT Titan, you were immeasurable in keeping your company afloat when the world halted in 2020 and threw all your initiatives into chaos. As an IT Titan, you persevered when all your priorities shifted to supporting every employee remotely and transforming your business into running 24/7 during the WFH mandate, while still caring for your loved ones. You achieved migrating your organization into the cloud, extending your security firewalls into the homes of your workforce, keeping stringent compliance requirements, and automating workflows to continue meeting stretch goals with limited staff. Whew!
As you reflect on your accomplishments, what did you learn? And what could you have done differently that will be top of mind to adapt to the woes of today, including perhaps mounting technical debt, a looming recession, an upcoming election year, ongoing supply chain issues, and urgent sustainability efforts?
- In the year of efficiency, how can businesses leverage cloud repatriation efforts and containerization to cut ballooning cloud costs?
- As you continue layering security tool after security tool, how can you implement cyber resiliency and drastically limit your risk from attackers?
- With the looming recession and a hiring freeze, how can IT departments meet stretch goals by leveraging adaptive automation technologies, such as ChatGPT? And how can compliance teams regulate these new tools to ensure data privacy while maintaining brand equity?
- How can you help accelerate your organization’s timeline for becoming carbon net-zero and ditch reusable straws and $0.10 plastic bags?
