Executive Modernization Workshop | CDW + HPE

Modernization decisions are no longer isolated. Changes in virtualization licensing, growing AI investment demands, and increasing operational complexity are forcing leaders to make faster, more interconnected decisions—often without clear alignment.

CDW, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Partner, invites you to attend the Modernization Mandate Workshop, a facilitator-led executive simulation designed to reflect these realities.

You’ll step into the role of a leadership team navigating real-world challenges, making decisions under constraint, evaluating trade-offs, and experiencing consequences in real time.

During this 90-minute session, you’ll work through four critical scenarios:

• Licensing instability and vendor lock-in
• Fragmentation across infrastructure and applications
• Competing priorities across cost, risk, and innovation
• Defining a clear modernization path forward

Walk In With Questions. Leave With Clarity.

After the session, you’ll be equipped to:

• Clarify which modernization decisions must be made now vs. deferred
• Align leadership teams around priorities and trade-offs
• Define next steps across cloud, data, and AI-ready infrastructure
• Evaluate HPE Hybrid Cloud solutions within a clear framework

This is not a presentation — it is a structured executive decision environment.
