Networking Session: The Evolution of the CIO Role in the Modern World
The session was led by Alice Plotnikova, Community Manager at Global CIO, and moderated by Kate Belyatinskaya, an expert in IT leadership and cross-cultural communication.
What We Talked About
Alice shared the results of a survey about how the CIO role is changing and what skills are most in demand in this transformation.
The research highlighted four key skills that modern CIOs need today:
- Negotiation and communication – to explain and defend their ideas
- Public speaking – to confidently speak with top executives and boards
- Change management – to guide digital transformation projects
- Leadership and team management – to build strong, motivated teams
Together, they discussed what skills are most important for CIOs now and in the future. Many shared personal stories making the conversation practical and valuable for everyone.
