No senior executive, least of all the CIO, can afford to shy away from change in the collaborative age. The CIO must lead change in a flexible and demanding business context. The fast pace of technological development, mixed with increasing pressure from the business to use information to help the business grow, means CIOs must create a careful balance as they embrace the unexpected.

At the  10th annual Conference - Embracing the Unexpected, 2nd and 3rd October,  200 CIOs and senior IT leaders will come together in London to debate and discuss the business impact of constant, and sometimes unexpected, change.
