Join Senior Leaders Dinner: Workplace IT Modernisation Roundtable
Executive leaders in London are invited to join this roundtable dinner on “Modernisation under constraint: What’s the real risk, change, or standing still?”.
An expert moderator will guide the knowledge-sharing event, stimulating discussion between participants in a closed, confidential environment. Attendance is complimentary and by invitation only.
TOPIC
Modernisation under constraint: What’s the real risk, change, or standing still?
Financial services organisations broadly understand the need to move towards standardised, cloud-aligned end-user computing platforms. Yet the challenge lies not in the vision, but in the journey. Regulatory requirements, risk frameworks, legacy dependencies, and limited internal capacity mean progress is often slow and complex. Many firms operate modern and legacy environments in parallel—not from a lack of ambition, but as a pragmatic response to real-world constraints.
This duality introduces tension. While change brings perceived risk, standing still carries hidden costs: operational fragility, reliance on key individuals, and environments that are hard to scale and govern. This session will explore how organisations balance these pressures, rethink EUC operations, and adopt automated, standardised approaches that reduce complexity without increasing risk.
What are the main barriers—regulatory, legacy, or capacity-related—that slow EUC modernisation in financial services?
How are organisations balancing risk and progress through automation, standardisation, and central governance?
What does a scalable, resilient, and future-ready EUC environment look like, and how can firms safely transition towards it?
WHO IS ATTENDING?
Join leaders interested in navigating the risks and opportunities of modernising end-user computing while balancing regulatory, operational, and legacy constraints.
Job titles may include IT Directors, Head of Infrastructure, EUC Managers, Risk and Compliance Leads, and Cloud Transformation Officers.
