What innovative approaches can the CIO's team apply to reduce costs while maintaining service levels acceptable to the business? How can the CIO create an environment where cost-saving approaches are not only actively considered, but the business buys in to innovative changes? In this session, learn what's in this CIO's toolkit, and how new approaches are paying off for Sunoco.
