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!
CIO Magazine presented our new and old chairman with a number of digital developments and asked them to give their opinion.
During the meeting seven showcases were presented by three members of the CIO Platform Nederland: Nutreco, Royal FloraHolland and VIVAT. This last theme session of the year was prepared together with the data science team of Nutreco and their CIO Henry van de Ven.
On Wednesday November 21st, 2018, we will organize the Data Science Meet & Greet. 13 Of our member organizations and 170 students will meet each other.
To bring the daily practice and education closer together, the CIO Platform Nederland organizes on Wednesday afternoon on November 21st for the 2nd time a Data Science Meet & Greet. The event for our members and data science students to meet each other. This time organized in close collaboration with Utrecht University.
From the CC Digital Strategy & Innovation, the CIO Platform Nederland provides so-called peer review sessions. A CIO of one of the members presents his/her ICT vision & strategy and has it reviewed by up to 5 peer CIOs in a 4-hour interactive session.
Central to the meeting of the CEG Data knowledge group is the exchange of knowledge and experiences by data specialists, managers and anyone who is data minded. Expect practical case(s), best practices and the necessary mutual inspiration.
At the CxO Connect Manufacturing (Manufacturing Industry), organized by and for CxOs in the Manufacturing Industry, we discuss the key issues that concern these members. Each session begins with an introduction by one of the members, followed by interaction with ample room for questions and discussion.
For CxOs and their strategic advisors from the manufacturing industry.
