About the Event
CIOs must be both strategic and tactical masters. Knowing which target to conquer is easier than knowing how to conquer it. Machiavelli provides clear guidance for CIOs and IT leaders, but Machiavellian CIO novices focus on executing his advice regarding the use of force. Machiavellian CIOs at the 2.0 level focus on applying his advice on the more complex and subtle yet controversial art of manipulation.
Key Issues:
- Which are the most subtle and invisible Machiavellian CIO tactics?
- Which manipulation tactics are more powerful than power itself, in accomplishing IT goals?
- Where are the lines between management, manipulation and ethics in IT?
