Sharing Best Practice to Improve Operational Efficiencies - May13-15


Infrastructure Focus Group

The CIO Network is proud to launch the Infrastructure Focus Group enabling Infrastructure teams from larger organisation's in Australia to share best practice and leverage peer experience to address common challenges.

Membership to the Infrastructure Focus Group is for a team within the organisation or business unit, depending on the size/structure of the organisation. Organisations with several business units like banks would need separate memberships for each business unit if each business has their own Infrastructure group. Infrastructure Focus Group members will have access to Infrastructure discussion groups only and no other CIO Network focus groups discussions.

Members of the Infrastructure Focus Group will be entitled to monthly discussion group on infrastructure related topics nominated by infrastructure executives, practical library of notes created from all our discussion groups, 1-1 engagements with peer companies via teleconference or face to face, mentoring service to enable executive development and access to discounted industry events to name a few.

To enable organisations to trial our services, we are offering Infrastructure executives the option to attend a discussion group as a non-member so as to help make the decision to join the focus group as a member easier.

More discussion topics to be announced shortly.
