Tech Monitor’s upcoming roundtable discussion and dinner: “From operations to innovation: exploring the evolution of IT” will take place on the 13th March in Manchester.

This invite-only Tech Monitor roundtable, in partnership with AMD, will convene senior leaders from a cross-section of industries to discuss how can senior technology leaders chart a path to reinvention and help lead their organisation to success in a time of economic volatility? That question is at the heart of this Tech Monitor roundtable discussion, brought to you in association with AMD.

From artificial intelligence to devops and cloud computing, we’ll explore the technology trends that offer opportunities for transformation – a transformation that delivers meaningful change and pushes at the limits of modernisation. The challenge is to push an innovation agenda while managing costs, ensuring competitive cost of ownership and significant return on investment. How, in other words, do you deliver efficiency from laptop to data centre?

We’ll also examine the role of IT leadership in driving the business forward. And we’ll discuss what are the hard and soft skills required to influence change and take the business with you.

Among the topics we’ll discuss:

– The extent and limits of AI

– Rethinking cloud computing

– DevOps and the skills opportunity

– Cost-realisation, TCO and ROI

– The changing nature of IT leadership
