    13/06/2017 Duration: 26min

    Limits define the scope of a business’s capacities and no area of business labours under more regulations than the finance sector. However, when constraints can be transformed into design elements, an organisation finds itself with capacities where it previously saw roadblocks. In the third episode of the Lenovo ThinkFWD CIO Series, ME Bank's Mark Gay discusses how banks are becoming technology businesses, transforming operational constraints into enablers for innovation and the importance of enhancing customer experience.

  • Episode 2 - The evolution of the CIO

    13/06/2017 Duration: 21min

    In the 21st century, technology will continue to drive the transformation of companies looking to increase productivity as competition intensifies. Every aspect of a business is being measured, digitised, quantified, analysed and visualised – and all of these are core functions of the C-level technology leader. In the second episode of the Lenovo ThinkFWD CIO Series, futurist Ross Dawson discusses how technology-driven change is transforming organisations and the role of the CIO. Ross explores how CIOs are not only IT managers who need to keep pace with accelerating change, but should also be executives who can provide business solutions, innovate and think strategically.

  • Episode 1 - What if an invisible attacker tried to bring down your business?

    13/06/2017 Duration: 31min

    Businesses need to think about the unthinkable when it comes to cyber threats. If your entire IT infrastructure was hacked into and corrupted tomorrow, how long would it take to rebuild? How long before employees could get back to work? How long before you could trade again? Would your business survive an extinction-level event?  In the first episode of the Lenovo ThinkFWD CIO Series, Carl Woerndle tells the chilling tale of the series of cyber attacks that leveled his major hosting business Distribute.IT in 2011. Carl also shares the key lesson he took from the experience - one that will serve as a sobering wake-up call for any CIO or IT professional concerned about cybersecurity.
