Description
The underrepresentation of women in IT senior leadership positions is apparent at every level, but within the Fortune 500, women face additional challenges in this male-dominated industry. To better understand these challenges, 19 Fortune 500 female CIOs were asked to share their professional experiences and the career strategies that they believed helped them advance to the C-level role.

Join the author of this research Tina Rourk, CIO at Wyndham Vacation Ownership and member of the Executive Women in IT (EWIT) steering committee, for this webcast as she walks through the five core themes from the results, and how they apply to female leaders at any size company:
-Skills and attributes that help women advance to a Fortune 500 CIO
-The role of mentoring and sponsorship pre- and post-advancement to CIO
-Perceived barriers and challenges to advancement
-Succeeding in a male-dominated field or environment
-Attitudes and beliefs on the glass ceiling and sticky floor

There will be time allocated for larger discussion and idea-sharing among attendees. This call is part of a regular series of webcasts for the EWIT Leadership Connection community of practice.

Cloud today is the foundation of the agile enterprise. As it reshapes the way organizations design, consume and manage IT resources, it opens the window of innovation – for more efficient business processes, new products, new lines of business and greater revenue opportunities. The result is a dynamic enterprise where change is a constant, due diligence a requirement and entrepreneurial vision a must. Getting there, of course, is easier said than done.

Enter Cloud Leadership Forum 2012, the only national conference that illuminates cloud’s power, and puts it in your hands. With IT and business executives, market-leading IDC analysts and the seasoned journalists of IDG Enterprise, the program will take a holistic look at all the dimensions of cloud computing – from the latest technologies to transformative strategies – and how you can harness those dimensions to your advantage. Hear how organizations are using clouds to invigorate their businesses, accelerate results and drive profits. We’ll examine and debate how the cultural, process, people and business aspects of cloud come together to drive success. It’s no small task: Change is hard. But in 2012, the question is not if but when and how.

Attend this third annual Cloud Leadership Forum and you will learn:

     The latest developments, market shifts and innovations in cloud computing from top IDC analysts;
     What is top of mind this year among leading cloud vendors;
     How leading organizations are putting cloud to work to save money, streamline operations, innovate and profit;
     How successful organizations are evolving to address the people and process changes wrought by cloud;
     How to evolve your private cloud into a hybrid cloud model;
     How to take advantage of cloud brokerages, community clouds and cloud platforms;
     How to finally overcome hurdles and resolve security concerns;
     And much, much more!
