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!
The Expert Group Infrastructure & IT Service Management brings together IT architects, IT operations, IT service, and infrastructure managers. Within this group, we share experiences and insights on topics such as IT architecture, organization and processes related to infrastructure and service management, data centers, network processes, and (out)sourcing. Together, we work on strengthening our knowledge and finding practical solutions for current challenges.
In the meetings for Portfolio Managers, participants exchange experiences about various relevant topics from their daily practice of Strategic Portfolio Management. Topics include do's & dont's with regard to benefit management, stakeholder management, reporting, prioritisation and decision making, business involvement and from project to product oriented approach.
This expert group focuses on sharing knowledge and experiences around low-code and no-code platforms. Together, we explore how these technologies accelerate, simplify, and transform IT processes while strengthening collaboration between IT and business. Real-world cases, insights, and challenges are central to our discussions. Despite the clear added value, integrating low-code into strategic planning remains a challenge. At the same time, attention to security, architecture, reusability, and flexibility remains essential.
A select group of prominent tech professors (Hylke Sprangers, former CTO of Talpa and affiliated with Erasmus University, and Rini van Solingen, part-time professor at TU Delft) and CTOs (Anneke Keller, former CTO of Wehkamp and PostNL, and Willem Roskam, CTO of Efteling) are launching NextGen Tech Leaders in collaboration with CIO Platform Nederland! This independent community connects seasoned tech veterans with young, ambitious professionals who aim to revolutionize the IT sector. CIO Platform Nederland supports the initiative through organization and promotion.
