About

This Masterclass is part of the Global CIO Academy and is delivered in collaboration with the UCL School of Management, London.

This masterclass explores how CIOs can lead high-performing technology departments that operate as strategic business partners. With expanding expectations on technology leaders to enable innovation, strengthen resilience, and drive value, CIOs must redefine how the technology function is structured, resourced, and perceived. The session examines how to position the tech team for maximum enterprise impact, build strong internal credibility, and move from cost centre to value creator.

From Technology Leader to Business Strategist
• Set a clear strategic intent that links IT directly to business goals.
• Focus on business impact - cutting through operational noise.
• Ensure technology strategy drives growth, resilience, and competitive advantage.
• Build internal partnerships that enhance collaboration and execution.
• Use KPIs and ROI to communicate impact effectively to stakeholders.
• Develop the ability to “zoom in” - investigating issues with curiosity and empathy while supporting teams through coaching.
