Winning The Tech Talent War: Building & Inspiring Stellar IT Teams

 

With technology advancing at an exponential rate, CIOs were already facing a tough challenge to attract enough high-potential workers to help design and execute their ambitious digital transformation plans. Then Covid-19 hit, placing IT teams under unprecedented strain. How can companies attract the tech talent they need to thrive in the future? And what steps should they be taking to engage and inspire next-generation leaders?

 

Join Forbes and your peers to hear how top CIOs are using smart strategies to find the best talent, including tapping AI and other technologies to identify promising candidates and building their personal brands to help attract the best and brightest.

 

A new generation of CIOs is rising fast and its members are recasting their role inside companies. They are innovation leaders who are highly valued business partners; change agents who are transforming how technology is developed and delivered; big-picture thinkers who influence corporate strategy at the highest levels; and talent magnets who build and inspire diverse and inclusive IT teams that deliver stellar results.

 

During The Forbes CIO Next event series, game-changing tech executives will share the lessons they’ve learned as they drive digital-first strategies at incredible speed. The series will also highlight key developments in several key technology areas, from AI to quantum computing. And it will showcase how CIOs from leading companies are helping to lay the foundations for a more robust and resilient global economy in the future.
