The Council of Senior Information Officers in the UAE discussed the National Innovation Strategy Initiative launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to make the UAE the world's most innovative by 2021.
The initiative serves as a platform for senior technology professionals to develop innovative business solutions, exchange experiences, conceptualize the pressing problems facing some companies and activate the role of intelligent transformation in the post-industrial era.
Ed Capaldi, a results focused strategic advisor & business coach said: "CEOs are always looking for ideas to develop their business in the digital age, thus, they continue to search and think about the post-industrial era, the economic instability, the lack of clarity and complexity and the uncertainty that afflicts the economies.”
These rapid changes are due to the digital transformation of the business sector. Smart transformation is continuously improving performance, and the CEO's mission remains to be successful in the market, with the Chief Information Officer ensuring that it is done.
