Brian BurkeBusiness leaders and users are increasing the business and IT focus on consumer technologies and are increasingly engaged in technology decisions. However, many emerging foundation technologies and delivery models will continue to be initiated by IT leaders and developers. Understanding how to leverage and justify the value of emerging technologies and delivery models to business leaders and users can hugely affect their acceptance, use and, ultimately, business value.
Key Issues:
  • How can IT leaders identify the most business-relevant emerging technologies?
  • How can IT leaders work with business users and leaders to justify investments in emerging technologies?
  • What are the best practices, skills and capabilities that IT leaders can use to leverage emerging technologies effectively?
