We just took our 7-year old to see Aquaman: There's a scene shot in the hallway outside the room of CIOsynergy's October 18th CIO ATLANTA event at The Georgia Aquarium. They even showed the same whale shark. Here's the spot - look for it in the movie! drive.google.com/file/d/1tQC…

This was an astonishingly great meeting: Amy Wu CFO, Global Digital, Discovery (HGTV et al) & Regina Buckley CFO+COO, The Guardian (US) shared the trailblazing changes confronting media financial execs...plus so much more from 15 panelists & terrific audience Qs & participation.

At ciotexas.com/houston/ Thursday: Is there AI for leapfrogging digital transformation?...200 bank audits/yr: We're a compliance target....achieving real-time enterprise-wide data delivery....keeping policies and processes current on a budget...and much more, at CIO Houston.

Darkness at noon here in Midtown Manhattan. The canyons of New York City can be very dark on a deeply cloudy day: Today may be the darkest one I've ever seen. I hope it's nicer in Houston! See you Thursday, Houston CIOs! ciotexas.com/houston/ @ScottShuster #BestModerator

A busy 8 weeks: I led discussions of CFOs in LA, CIOs in Mumbai, Munich, San Francisco, Atlanta, & Detroit, plus CISOs in Munich again! Separate EU trip! Next 6 weeks: CFOs in NYC, CIOs in Houston and LA, CISOs in Boston. Thanks to my client CXOsync for all these bookings!

#CIODetroit: Great day! So many real manufacturers up there! Automakers, yes, plus all the companies that support them. We talked managing IoT in factories, multi-continent workforces, multi-cloud security, & much more. Brilliant panelists all day, plus #BestModerator :)

Atlanta now being such a global center of corporate and subsidiary HQs the #CIOAtlanta event becomes a cavalcade of IT management’s leading edge. Predictive analytics was a recurring theme all day, usually in the context of digital transformation. Everybody’s doing it!

Chairing cfo.org/la tmw. Booming 1099s..High cost+disruption of must-do transformative technologies vs. tightening margins..Convincing everyone to face facts..Achieving peer consensus..thinking in probabilities...more. Be there, SoCal enterprise #CFOs! @ScottShuster

#CIOMunich panelists are sharing topics with me for our upcoming onstage interviews: “Enterprise-wide AI strategy: How?”...”I doubt shifting to cloud really saves money”...”Digital transform sans digital employees (mine are regular humans!)” 27.9.18 at the Westin #BestModerator

#CIOSanFrancisco was a massive success: Big thanks to event creator CXOsync for bringing me in to be the end-to-end meeting chairman and onstage interviewer. My next stop: Germany for #CIOMunich September 27th! @ScottShuster #BestModerator

From #CIOSanFrancisco: Digital transformation easier if you come from the business side. @AudreyCKauffman CIO of insurer Beta Healthcare Group was an underwriter for years before becoming CIO, making her a natural for building bridges to the business units: Cultural connection.

From #CIOSanFrancisco: Why don’t more young women choose highly-paid STEM careers? Nutanix CIO & Girls in Tech Board member Wendy Pfeiffer says the problem starts in early youth: Boys toys teach tech-y things: Girls’ toys do not. Can toymakers fix this?

Boarding my flight to #CIOSanFrancisco happening tomorrow...fun chat yesterday w/Tesla founder @MartinEberhard, he and I doing on onstage interview together & he said yes he'll def join the CIOs for drinks after - AND he's bringing along his historic Tesla Roadster! @CIOsynergy – at New York, NY

More from @CIOMumbai, @VaibhavPalan CIO Piramal Enterprises (nearing $20-billion/yr conglomerate in pharma, non-bank finance, & software) is deep in digital transformation of its processes. But the biggest challenge? It's culture change. "There is no rule book," says Vaibhav. – at Manhattan, NY

Back in NYC after leading yesterday's @CIOMumbai. #1 topic: Enterprise digital transformation. Resistance is futile said @mkhamkar, CIO of Super-Max, “digital transformation is absolutely demanded by all the changes we face." Spot-on, Milind, Sir! @ScottShuster #BestModerator – at Manhattan, NY

Back in NYC after leading yesterday's @CIOMumbai. #1 topic: Enterprise digital transformation. Resistance is futile said CIO Milind Khamkar of Super-Max, “digital transformation is absolutely demanded by all the changes we face." He is so right. @ScottShuster #BestModerator – at Manhattan, NY

Why challenge continuing existence of CIO with arrival of every new technology? Tired of this! Is there a universally applicable rule book for culture change during digital transformation? CIOs!:: Join me tomorrow @ciomumbai.com @ScottShuster #BestModerator 9:30am Trident BKC – at Navi Mumbai, India
