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!
I must have been about 9 years old when I first saw that burning globe. A candle, in the shape of our earth, slowly burned out. This made a deep impression. Maybe then my green heart started beating. ... Now I also want to show that in my role as CIO. In this blog, therefore, some of my recommendations to get that done. How do you handle this?
CIOs should step up when economy goes down.
There are a number of crises at the moment, both in the world and in the Netherlands. Crises such as climate and biodiversity change, shortage of workforce, inflation, immigration, and war...
On March 16th, an enthusiastic group of members of CIO Platform Nederland started working on 'unbiased hiring' at Britt van den Berg (she/her) (chairman CIO Committee Diversity & Inclusion, board member) CIO of SVB.
On March 7, the Expert Groups (CEG) Agile and CEG Portfolio management were guests at Avans in Den Bosch for a look behind the agile kitchen. What a beautiful day with new insights and inspiration!
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.
