Gartner - CIO Summit 2007 - (Page 7) Agenda Track 2 Transformation: Harnessing the Drivers The emphasis of IT is shifting from the “T” to the “I”, from technology to information. IT is no longer a distinct activity. It’s intertwined with business intelligence, business process management, resource management, strategic planning – and more. Virtual worlds and consumerization of IT are generating new insights and new demands. This track reviews how these trends are developing and combining as drivers of transformation. Workshop Sessions (Each session consists of a 30-minute analyst presentation followed by a peer-exchange discussion) Consumerization and Virtual Worlds Consumer technology pervades the workplace and communities are growing around these changing patterns of use. Virtual worlds have gone mainstream, and with sites like Second Life attracting a growing list of blue-chip corporate support, real money is being made. How Business Intelligence Is Driving Business Performance Most CIOs expect their organizations will use performance initiatives to grow revenue. To ensure the right information to run the business is in place, business intelligence initiatives need stronger strategic vision and improved long-term planning to deliver on the promise of competitive advantage. Theme Keynote – Transformation: Harnessing the Drivers Architecting Software and Business Process for Agility New options are evolving for software infrastructure, major application providers are consolidating, and new service offerings are emerging. The business demands greater responsiveness in supporting new initiatives. How to exploit the new while sustaining the old is a challenge facing technology, skills, and governance. • What are the factors to consider in plotting your software strategy? • How can software investments drive business process improvement and enhance business decision-making? • What are the alternative models for success when delivering software to support the business? Futures of Software Architecture Businesses need to adapt rapidly, which in turn leads to an increased demand for flexibility in changing business processes. The Web, SOA, BPM, event-driven architecture (EDA) and business applications technologies are becoming key drivers to support these needs and are changing the fundamental nature of business computing. Business Process Drives Business Effectiveness Business process improvement is one of the key value elements in transforming IT futures. Based on Gartner GVP Mark McDonald’s academic research and recent book, this workshop will share leading insights and case studies. “The challenge is looking into the future across the entire spectrum of technology to identify trends, disruptions and those areas where two plus two does NOT equal four – to develop a forward-looking strategy.” Steve Prentice, VP Distinguished Analyst How IT Risk Can Create Competitive Advantage at The New Value Frontiers Learn how executive management must understand the business consequences of IT risks, including business failure, related to availability, access, accuracy, and agility. http://agendabuilder.gartner.com/cios2/WebPages/SessionList.aspx?Track=36 http://agendabuilder.gartner.com/cios2/WebPages/SessionList.aspx?Track=36
