SAN DIEGO, Sept. 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In today’s shifting economic and geopolitical landscape, enterprises must be willing to disrupt their existing business models—or find themselves disrupted by the competition. As innovation and new market entrants raise the bar across all industries, customer experience has emerged as the single most influential factor in determining success. CIOs play a pivotal part in enriching customer engagement by deploying advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and data analytics to forge customer-focused business models. To effect tangible change, IT executives must exhibit powerful leadership, progressive thinking, and the ability to partner productively with C-suite and board of directors.
Such topics will drive the conversation at the 2019 San Diego Technology Executive Leadership Summit, produced by HMG Strategy and taking place on November 5, 2019, at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine.
