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!

Developments in digital technology regulations are increasingly taking shape and impacting practice, while new legislative initiatives and revisions continue to emerge. To ensure our members are well informed and able to respond collectively, we are organizing a joint session of the CEG Legal & Compliance and the CEG Infrastructure & IT Service Management. IT architects, IT operations, IT service and infrastructure managers will exchange experiences on architecture, organizational design, and IT processes related to infrastructure, application and service management, data centers, network processes, and outtasking/outsourcing.
Anneke Keller, Group CTO at QLS and former CTO at PostNL and Wehkamp, reflects on her masterclass with nearly 50 participants focusing on tech leadership in the era of AI. Many organizations are investing heavily in AI. But the real question is not what AI can do, it is what your team can do with it. Ultimately, the success of AI is determined not by the technology itself, but by the people who use it.
Innovation does not happen by itself. Breakthroughs require vision, courage, perseverance and strong leadership. That is why the Breakthrough Festival 2026, taking place on 17 September, brings together current and future IT, Digital, Data, Cyber and Technology Leaders for an inspiring afternoon of real-world stories, fresh perspectives and valuable networking opportunities.
