| Information technology is essential to business. It drives industries. It brings governments closer to people. It has major impacts on society. But it’s too easy to get lost in technical complexities and forget the importance of business outcomes. Consider the future of your role. What parts of the business will you take care of? Is technology your job or is the job really business innovation? How is your industry responding to technology? How is your industry exploiting social networks and preparing for the arrival of digital natives in your workforce and customer base? What are you doing about IT developments in emerging economies as they shape global IT markets and as combined “Chindia” emerges to compete globally? The future is filled with opportunity, challenge and, most of all, with big questions and big uncertainties. Fear drives knowledge, knowledge drives action, action drives success. So be afraid, be very afraid! - because there's much to know, much to do and much success to create. | |

Find out how several of the world's leading CIOs are ensuring that their IT organizations, processes and priorities are appropriately aligned with their businesses to meet these ever-changing demands and strategies. | |

| IT is transforming itself, creating new sources of business value and new business models. Most large IT organizations will divide into at least two pieces by 2012. CIOs need to lead that transformation and to transform their own roles as they do so. Leading CIOs are building synergies across the whole enterprise and beyond. They are blending business and technology capabilities in their teams and in themselves. This keynote will examine the direction and drivers of the transformation and signpost what you need to do to understand and lead it. | |

| No enterprise in the 21st century runs for long without capable IT. Whether IT is enabling current operations or extending enterprise competitiveness, it clearly has value. Because IT’s value is inseparable from the value of the business model it supports, difficulties arise when attempting to measure IT value purely in terms of IT investment. CIOs focusing on communicating IT value rather than business value are on a track to failure.
This workshop will give you tools and actions for CIOs to communicate the business value of IT. | |

| The balancing act between what software to build internally, what to buy as packages, and what to source as external services, grows ever more tricky. New options are evolving for software infrastructure, major application providers are consolidating, and new service offerings are emerging. The business takes existing investments for granted, at the same time as expecting greater responsiveness in supporting new business initiatives, and greater flexibility in supporting constantly evolving business processes. How to exploit the new while sustaining the old is a technology, skills, and governance challenge. | |

| Businesses need to adapt rapidly and this leads to significant demand for flexibility in changing business processes. SOA, BPM and business applications technologies are becoming key drivers to support the needs for flexibility and agility in changing business processes. But “application” doesn’t mean what it used to mean. SOA, the Web, event-driven architecture (EDA), BPM, integration and virtualization are changing the fundamental nature of business computing. This workshop will examine how emerging software architectures are helping make agility a reality through technology. It will guide you to create an agenda for action in your own organization. | |

| How well are your targeting today's applicant pool? Before they even apply for a job, potential candidates are influenced by your company's reputation. Creating an appealing employment brand goes beyond what's build around your products or services. It tells the story of who you are as a company and what you stand for. It translates into how you value and respect your employees and is essential to engaging Gen X and Y. What does your employment brand say about you?
After onboarding comes the hard part: developing and retaining your IT talent. In a lifetime, most people have seven or eight jobs. At FedEx an employee can have all seven or eight without ever changing companies. Consider that the FedEx CVP of Human Resources began her career as a customer representative and the president and CEO of FedEx Express started as a courier. That’s the kind of development opportunity that creates a group of genuinely loyal employees. Find out how FedEx works to keep 7,000+ employees engaged and inspired through its creative job programs and culture of always delivering an outstanding experience – both externally and inside the workplace.

| Three out of five enterprises plan to grow market share, and executives expect CIOs and IT to contribute to that growth and performance. CIOs have traditionally responded by reducing IT and enterprise costs. To reach the next level, CIOs will need to create new sources of enterprise leverage. As IT permeates all aspects of life from business to culture and society, enterprises will need to adjust and transform accordingly for survival. All this demands transformations of leadership, management, people, skills and organizations. So, what does the future hold for CIOs? How CIOs will need to work in the future to make these changes happen is the subject of this keynote. | |

Successful innovators will use social technologies and other techniques to break the boundaries of traditional approaches. | |

| CIOs stand at a crossroads. The role of each CIO is inevitably changing because of two perspectives on IT. On the one hand, there is the lingering disaffection with IT from the Internet bust, the over-expenditure on technology capacity, the popular press's assertion that IT is now irrelevant in discussion of competitive advantage and the hysteria about IT jobs moving overseas. On the other hand, IT is gaining renewed interest for several reasons, including business executives’ desire for innovation, pressures from the regulatory environment and because technology plays a foundational, if not a central, role in virtually every product and service.
If you are a CIO who has been brought in to turn things around, you may be overwhelmed by the list of problems to solve; if you’ve been in the same role for a while, then you may be wondering why it takes so long to get the team focused on what you think is important. We’ll share best practices for these challenging issues and you'll leave with your personal action list, reviewed and validated with your peers. | |
