Webcast: CIO strategies for IT consumerisation

It's been a generation since the first workers to grow up with personal computers at home entered the workforce. Two decades ago, this new generation of workers helped fuel the massive expansion of business computer use and the productivity gains that ensued.

History is almost repeating itself. The first new knowledge workers raised with the internet are starting to graduate from college and entering the workforce. When these workers learned to read, the World Wide Web and email were in a period of mass expansion and commercialisation. They were in elementary school when the dot-com boom peaked, and in college as social media and smartphone use exploded.

Already, the expectations of a new generation of workers are resetting and refocusing the CIO agenda. As social media becomes a foundational component of work life and corporate collaboration, as new mobile devices and application platforms proliferate, and as more employees work from home, traditional corporate policies on personal computer usage, data security, and application usage are quickly becoming antiquated.
