The CTO is Dead: Long Live the CTO
30 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
The role of the CTO is changing and the skills needed to succeed as a CTO are also changing. As technology continues to invade deeper into more and more organizations, technology savvy and expertise become increasingly important in the C-suite. In the past traditional organizations didn’t really have CTOs at the “big table” despite the “C” in their title. This situation is changing. This talk will describe the evolution of the role of the CTO as I have watched it both within my role at ThoughtWorks and with many of our clients.

The Past and Future of Evolutionary Architecture
60 Mins
Keynote
Advanced
Evolutionary Architecture is rapidly becoming seen as the responsible approach to technology rather than some crazy idea that leads to chaos and despair. This talk follows the evolutionary path of Evolutionary Architecture first. We’ll then try to see where such ideas might lead us in the future.
