DISCUSSION SESSION I: Cloud computing - IT as a commodity?

The benefits of cloud computing as a driver of efficiency and cost-control have been much discussed. However, if it really is the first step to IT as a utility, where does that leave the CIO? How can the business take greatest advantage of the cloud while minimising the security and other risks?

REFRESHMENT BREAK

DISCUSSION SESSION II: How should the CIO manage social media?

You can't completely control the social media environment,  But it can be a valuable tool for business. What are the implications for the business of aggregating consumer - and possible employee - power in this way, and what is the CIO's role in the use and management of social media?

The discussion will begin with a presentation of findings from an Economist Intelligence Unit research paper "Working with new stakeholders" looking at how companies engage with online communities - managing the risks and making the most of the opportunities.
