| Track A: Building the Value | Today’s best top executives know that successful business growth and transformation demand IT integrated with business strategy. Business transformation can no longer be done with IT as an afterthought. The business environment is constantly and rapidly changing. Globalization, sustainability, new sources of competitive advantage and alternative business models all demand attention. Yet you can never overlook the power of IT to transform efficiency of business foundations. Building value from all these elements of transformation is the heart of this track. | A |
| Track B: Harnessing the Drivers | The emphasis of IT is shifting from the “T” to the “I” -- from technology to information, from support to agility. IT is no longer a separate and distinct business activity. It's intertwined with business intelligence, business process management, resource management, strategic planning and operations management -- just to name a few. In some industries, the amount of money spent on "operational" technology is similar to the traditional information technology budget. 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. | B |
| Track C: Making It Happen | The management of IT is in transition. As IT becomes more critical to the day-to-day operations and strategic development of many enterprises, business leaders need closer understanding and visibility of what technology can do for them and how it can change the landscape of their markets. Other enterprises see IT simply as a commodity, necessary but not strategically critical. In both situations, it's less and less true that the management of IT is only within the IT organization. It’s all through the business and also part of today’s work, culture and society. All this demands transformations of leadership, management, people, skills and organizations. How to make them happen is the subject of this track. | C |
