What should the IT function stop doing?

Rethinking where IT teams create the greatest value

HotTopics C-suite Exchange, in partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise 

Technology teams are under constant pressure to deliver more with less. As IT environments become more complex and expectations continue to grow, leaders are having to rethink where their teams add the most value and which activities no longer deserve their time and attention.

At this HotTopics C-suite Exchange, senior technology leaders will come together to explore how they're simplifying operations, reducing manual effort and reshaping the role of IT for the future. Drawing on insights from the HotTopics Technology Leaders Benchmark, we'll discuss how organisations are deciding what to automate, what to consolidate and where people can have the greatest impact.

Together, we'll explore which routine tasks can be safely handed over to automation, how AI is helping reduce operational burden and what it takes to build an operating model that enables IT teams to spend less time maintaining systems and more time driving innovation and business value.
