2023 Forbes CIO Summit

The 2020s began with great optimism. Then came a pandemic, an inflation surge, higher interest rates, a war in Eastern Europe, China’s slowdown, the changing nature of globalization, new supply chains, labor shortages, a crypto crash, and an energy transition interrupted by price spikes and shortages.

The new normal is constant change: CEOs and boards around the world have prioritized resilience over growth. Data, insights, prediction, nimbleness, sustainability, and trust will be the ingredients that determine resilience – and thus the winners – during this next phase of change. Exceptional CIOs are the architects of resilience required to win during these times.
