Our members determine the themes on which we act. We work on the continuous digitization of our organizations. The digital strategy - as part of the overall strategy – and its implementation within the organization are central to this theme.
Distinctive for the digital revolution in which we find ourselves, are the rapid developments. There is hardly time to notice, evaluate, implement and control a new technology, or the next alternatives are already presenting themselves. It takes a lot of time and budget to stay informed, possibly adjust the business strategy, make the right technology choices, successfully complete the implementation, have employees work with it successfully and avoid setbacks. Learning from the experiences of other users can help to prevent such costly mistakes.
That is why we are committed to:
Sharing knowledge and insights about the application of new technologies in practice. For instance, creating value with data, AI and alike. These knowledge and inspiration sessions are accessible for experts, CxOs, and board members of our members.
Sharing knowledge on how to bring non-IT employees of the organization up to speed on working with digital technology, and adapting processes.
Expand the use of available expertise and experience, by organising more frequent peer-reviews aimed at improving digital projects of colleagues who are also member of the CIO Platform Nederland.
Making, if required, experts from our community available for providing feedback on policy initiatives of the government, and by providing expertise for technical briefings and parliamentary enquiries, and other initiatives on the national level that our members consider to be of societal interest.
We are living in a period in which the application of IT and data is experiencing an enormous acceleration. How to apply these in a good and structured way - in these hectic times -, what choices to make and which preconditions to set and how to actually create value, is a major challenge for the leaders of all organizations. It helps enormously if we can exchange experiences about this and learn from each other!
On 9 October some 50 delegates gathered to be inspired by some enthusiastic expert speakers, all focusing on achieving an agile organization in this age of digital disruption. Special thanks to our co-host of the day, Teun van der Vorm, CIO of DPG Media (previously De Persgroep), where this special event took place.
On Tuesday 2 July, PostNL's package sorting center in Nieuwegein was the setting for the second Network Dinner of 2019 for members of the CIO Platform Netherlands. Host Marcel Krom and his team presented some 30 CIOs the digital strategy of the market leader in parcel delivery.
Jurre van Ruth, Digital Strategy Consultant, presented the road PostNL has traveled to provide every role / profile within the organization with a 'Digital DNA', or: how they succeeded in creating a digital profile for each role / profile.
As a follow up of his plenary presentation, there was now room for in depth discussion.
The CEG Sustainability addresses questions and issues around the joint development of sustainability and digitalisation. How do we make IT more sustainable and make IT more sustainable? And how do we contribute with Data to e.g. CSRD? The CEG is the place for sharing experiences and solutions in this area through practical examples.
The CIO Committee (CC) Digital Strategy & Innovation is focusing on the next event on their roadmap, CxO/Board Signature event: 'AI, what else?! How to become a smart organization'. Hear from the experts on all relevant AI-developments and Machine Learning.
The purpose of this theme session is to share (peer to peer) knowledge about the integration of corporate, IT and digital strategies, viewed from the theory / consultancy as well as from the practice of our members and to discuss vision and experiences.
