Leadership in the Era of Business Virtualization


Presiding Host:
John Chambers, Chairman and CEO, Cisco

Master of Ceremonies:
Scott Puopolo, Vice President, Global Practice Lead, Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group

With technology accelerating the path to business agility, IT leaders find themselves transformed into business technologists, responsible for igniting innovation and creating fresh revenue opportunities for the organization.

The advent of everything-as-a-service, enabling virtualization of the business, uniquely positions business technologists to lead through today's market transitions. IT has moved firmly to the boardroom, influencing organization-wide strategies with actionable data and advanced analytics, by defining the next-level customer experience through the social-mobile network and with new, cloud-enabled partnership and business models.

The IT Executive Symposium at Cisco Live explores the current and long-range view on market transitions and business-technology trends through the lens of leadership. How do you embrace innovation without destroying cash flow? What are the implications of virtualization on today's business model? What is the critical path to thriving through today's global transitions?

At the IT Executive Symposium, we will uncover a new business imperative that technology leaders are central to the migration roadmap driving organizational evolution. Through active dialogue with peers, industry visionaries and pragmatic business leaders, you'll walk away from this exclusive, invitation-only program with novel perspectives and strategies to help connect success for your business today while readying it for what's on the horizon.
