Digital Maturity in Health Systems – The DigiM Framework and How to Use it with Sara Vaezy and Paddy Padmanabhan
Learn Objectives:
- Understanding digital maturity in health systems
- Applying an objective, structured assessment tool such as DigiM to evaluate digital maturity
- Developing a roadmap for accelerating technology-led transformation
Health systems have been on a digital transformation journey for the past few years. However, there is no structured framework to assess the maturity of health systems, specifically from a technology enablement standpoint. Damo Consulting’s DigiM framework addresses this gap with an online assessment tool that helps healthcare leaders benchmark themselves against their peers. The framework also assesses the relative maturity of the digital transformation vision against the execution of the strategy.
Using recently concluded research and data points from self-assessments by several health systems, this session will provide a roadmap for digital transformation leaders looking to take an objective view of their progress and prioritize their investments to meet their enterprise goals.

Securing the Internet of Things Opportunity: Putting Cybersecurity at the Hea...Capgemini
The potential trillion dollar Internet of Things (IoT) business opportunity rests precariously on one critical factor – security. 71% of executives in our survey agreed that security concerns will influence customers’ purchase decision for IoT products. However, despite increasing cyber attacks and ample warning from security experts, most organizations do not provide adequate security and privacy safeguards for their IoT products. In fact, only 33% of IoT executives in our survey believe that the IoT products in their industry are highly resilient to cyber security attacks. Further, despite rising consumer concerns regarding data privacy, 47% of organizations do not provide any privacy related information regarding their IoT products.
So, why are organizations lagging behind in securing their IoT products and systems? Key reasons for this include an expanded attack surface, inefficiencies in the IoT product development process, and the lack of specialized security skill-sets. For instance, our survey showed that only 48% of companies focus on securing their IoT products from the beginning of the product development phase. Building a secure IoT system begins with the recognition that security needs to be as much of a priority as the features and functionality of an IoT product. The report highlights the key measures that organizations must take in order to put security at the core of their IoT value proposition.
The Currency of Trust: Why Banks and Insurers Must Make Customer Data Safer a...Capgemini
Are banks and insurers a safe pair of hands when it comes to customer data? Our global survey of more than 180 senior data privacy and security professionals – as well as 7,600 consumers – found that less than a third (29%) of these organizations offer both strong data privacy practices and a sound security strategy. Just one in five (21%) are highly confident that they can detect a cybersecurity breach.
This picture has so far not unduly affected consumers’ perceptions of the industry. We found that 83% of consumers trust banks and insurers when it comes to data. And while one in four institutions have reported being victim of a hack, just 3% of consumers believe their own bank or insurer has ever been breached. However, with the pending General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulations, this trust factor is likely to change as transparency increases. Financial organizations have to reveal a data breach 72 hours after the incident.
Banks and insurance firms have a clear incentive therefore to fortify their defences. As well as avoiding the prohibitive fines and penalties that will result from compromised data, protecting privacy offers a strategic business advantage. Addressing security concerns will drive greater adoption of low-cost digital channels. We found that security concerns deter nearly half of consumers (47%) from using digital channels. It will also reduce churn and attract competitors’ customers – 74% of consumers would switch their bank or insurer in the event of a data breach.
Preparing to be a trusted data steward is no easy task, however. It means raising the bar on multiple dimensions:
• Aligning data practices with consumers’ expectations
• Finding innovative ways of providing non-intrusive security to consumers
• Building the capabilities required to monitor cyber risks on a real-time basis
• Revisiting the data governance model.
Building your reputation for data privacy and robust security is definitely challenging. But, those who strike the right chord with consumers will enjoy a competitive advantage over their peers. The winners will be those who triumph in the trust game.
Industry experts from health care and informatics ponder the future of electronic health records during the implementation of "meaningful use" and beyond.

Navigating the new world ushered in overnight by COVID-19Belatrix Software
We’re all being challenged by the current situation. In a matter of weeks, much of what we have always taken for granted, has changed. In this Belatrix report, we explore five key areas that we have identified for leaders and managers to focus on.This covers the spectrum from looking after your employees, to evaluating what products and services will remain viable in the long-term.
A critical gap exists between the enterprise mobility vision and
real-world implementations.
Enterprise mobility and trends like bring your own device
(BYOD) aren’t just hot topics of conversation.
According to the over 1,600 IT and security professionals we surveyed, mobility is a top priority for most IT departments.
Unfortunately, there’s a critical gap between the vision these IT leaders have for enterprise mobility and the real-world implementations.
The insights gathered from IT professionals in the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa demonstrate that organisations from around the world share many of the same priorities, challenges and risks.
Just as Amazon changed how we buy things and
Netflix transformed how we consume videos,
companies like AirBnB and Uber have shaken up the
hotel and transportation industries. With new disruptive
technologies, products, services and business models
being introduced almost daily, CIOs need to take charge
of their organization’s response now to secure long-term
business success.
Employees use their own mobile devices to conduct their job functions anytime and anywhere. With the rise of the Mobile Workforce leading organizations recognize the importance of mobile innovations to get ahead of the competition. Good content orchestration and effectiveness solutions can make sure the right content gets to the right people, hence saving time, improving productivity, speeding up the information gathering and influencing action.
Outsourcing became an emerging trend in the late 1980s/early 1990s. In the subsequent 30 years, it became a strategic business imperative for businesses in the USA and Europe.
In the 1990s, outsourcing consisted of hardware and networking-related work. However, in the internet era of the late 90s and heavy digitalization of industries in the early 2000s, outsourcing started taking a more evident shape. Business process outsourcing, software development, and full-fledged IT function outsourcing gained rapid pace during this period. The business of outsourcing became more client-oriented and just not an internal business process anymore.
A Business-Driven Approach to Mobile Enterprise SecurityJuniper Networks
For IT professionals, the mobile enterprise is the next step in a progression that started years ago with the introduction of laptop PCs, enterprise wireless access points (APs), and mobile storage devices. There are important distinctions however. The growing use of consumer technologies and cloud-based services makes mobile enterprise policy management and enforcement more granular and complex— few organizations are simply willing to ban the use of iPads or block all employees from Facebook. As soon as these technologies are accepted, decisions on who can use which technology at what time and for what purpose become more difficult to create and enforce.
Ultimately, large organizations need to think of the mobile enterprise as a new model and act accordingly. This is already happening in some industries. For example, hospitals use wireless technology and RFID tags to locate mobile equipment and roaming physicians while private health care practices are eschewing in-house servers and applications for cloud-based alternatives. At a high-level, mobile enterprise guidelines are fairly simple: create and enforce policies to enable productive behavior and minimize risk. At the same time, constantly monitor activities to measure success. Finally, use technology to automate fixes when possible.
While some vendors will take time to adjust to mobile enterprise requirements, Juniper Networks has already developed a comprehensive architecture that enables automated granular policy creation and enforcement spanning from mobile wired/wireless endpoints to the network core. As such, large organizations would be well served to evaluate Juniper Networks as they develop mobile enterprise strategies.
Business Continuity Emerging Trends - DRIE Atlantic - SummaryMarie Lavoie Dufort

Speaker: Marie Lavoie Dufort
Host: Emad Aziz
The 2022 CIO Survey Summary Report provides insight into the priorities, challenges, and opportunities facing IT leaders in the consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries this year. Businesses across the world continue to face talent and labor shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and companies within the tech industry are no different. These shortages, combined with changes to the “normal” workplace environment, have resulted in many companies rethinking and assessing their current and future challenges, opportunities, and priorities within their IT departments. In late 2021, Clarkston Consulting conducted a CIO Market Study, aiming to better understand the current priorities and challenges of upper or C-Suite level IT professionals (CIO/CISO/CTO/VP) at large companies ($350M+ revenue) in the retail, CPG, manufacturing, or life science industries. The four key objectives for the 2022 CIO Survey were to:
Understand the overall relationship between IT and other departments within the company.
Understand current IT budget distribution, technologies/platforms used, and sources for technology-specific learning and development.
Identify attributes that are important in selecting outsourcing or managed services partners, a professional services provider, or a technology platform/vendor.
Determine priorities for the coming year and understand how COVID-19 has changed priorities in recent years.
Market Study Results
Through this CIO Market Study, Clarkston was able to gain valuable insight on the current status and perceptions of IT departments, including budget, ERP usage, investments, outsourced activities, and department health; department expectations, priorities, and plans for the upcoming year; and important attributes in outsourcing and managed services, among other key findings.
The results of this survey provide a detailed view of many of the challenges that IT departments across the consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries continue to face, particularly as they navigate the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the workplace.

2. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, enterprise IT
rushed to cobble together solutions that would enable
remote work and ensure business continuity.
3. With the initial response phase
complete, organizations must now
address how to move forward in the
“new normal.”
• Ensure the health and safety of
employees, customers and clients.
• Consider digital solutions for indefinite
remote work and services.
• Re-evaluate once temporary solutions
to shore-up vulnerabilities, improve
efficiencies and save costs in the long run.
4. The reactive phase
Organizations scrambled to acquire or adapt solutions and, more often
than not, an imperfect or incomplete solution was better than nothing.
5. From an IT perspective, many enterprise organizations did not feel
adequately prepared to respond to the initial impact of COVID-19.
Rather than operate from a well-defined backup plan or strategic point
of view, they pivoted rapidly to deploy their remote workforce and
implement multiple changes at once, sometimes without enough
support to meet their needs.
6. How prepared was your company to handle
the IT business changes due to COVID-19?

7. 15%
of IT professionals reported that developing or refining
their business continuity or resiliency plan in response
to COVID-19 was “extremely challenging” and
ultimately “not successful.”
8. When COVID-19 forced new
business models and working
remotely, how long did
employees experience any
downtime while your
organization adapted
IT systems and processes?
No downtime
Less than 1 week
1–2 weeks
3–4 weeks
5–6 weeks

12. The reflective phase
IT professionals re-evaluate the new or adapted solutions they have
implemented as well as develop strategies for what they need to do next.
13. As enterprises emerge from the initial phase of COVID-19, they’re
re-evaluating their IT priorities. In particular, they’re placing
emphasis on remote IT management, employee IT adoption and
engagement, and automation.
Likewise, IT professionals are charged with finding forward-facing
solutions that will help employees, customers and clients feel
comfortable working in and patronizing their businesses.
14. Half (49%) of IT
professionals reported
their priorities have
been “very” or
“extremely impacted”
by the pandemic.
15. Before the pandemic, 26% of IT professionals ranked
enabling remote IT management among their top three
IT priorities. Today, 42% rank it among their top three
and 19% now consider it their top priority.

18. The new normal
IT professionals must consider how COVID-19
may be changing enterprise IT for good.
19. COVID-19 will change the business landscape
dramatically. While the lasting impact will
be unknown for some time, examining IT
professionals’ current attitudes can help us
imagine what the new normal might look like.
In particular, we predict remote work is here to
stay, security will be more important than ever,
IT will take on an even more significant role
and certain values will become more ingrained
in company cultures.
20. Remote work is here to stay.
Many IT professionals shared a change in attitude toward remote work,
expressing surprise about how effective it can be and by their ability to
achieve it at scale.
“Leadership will now have a bigger buy-in to working remote.” – Survey respondent
“[The biggest lesson is] framing the business in terms of an increase in remote employees.”
– Survey respondent

Nearly half (49%) of IT professionals placed improving data and network
security and recovery as a top priority before and after the pandemic.
22. Moving forward, 79%
of IT professionals expect
IT to take on a “somewhat”
or “significantly greater”
role within their
organization.
23. “Everything is important when it comes to IT, and you
never know when it will be called upon to save
your company.” – Survey respondent
24. For some organizations, the pandemic was a study in
innovation, with IT at the helm.
“A company’s ability to survive any situation depends on its ability to innovate. And so
its IT department should take a very proactive role in technological advancements so
as to solidify the company’s resilience to any unforeseen situation.” – Survey respondent
25. Company values will reflect an IT mindset.
Flexibility:
“Flexibility is
key.”
Creativity:
“Explore every
possible channel
as a way to
provide solution[s]
to challenges.”
Agility:
“Be able to
move quickly
and expect
possible
curveballs
thrown at you.”

“[The biggest
lesson is] to
work together
and stay calm.”
Communication:
“Communicate
with your
colleagues as
much as possible,
to the point of

dialogue.”
Resiliency:
“A pandemic

organization.”

company is “very” or “extremely prepared” to handle a similar
situation from an IT perspective.
