Overview

From Disruption to Innovation

Emerging trends are the drivers for the way in which business and society evolves. Emerging technologies can be both the catalyst and the consequence of how business and society are shifting. Put them together in the digital age, and we are beginning to see a stream of emerging phenomena. Gartner's Emerging Trends and Technologies Roadshow will examine the three phenomena that Gartner's leading analysts have identified as having the biggest impact and potential disruption to technology, the business and the supply chain - and what you can do now to prepare.

The next 5-10 years will see some of the most profound changes in the Information Technology industry. But the nature of this change will be fundamentally different than anything we've experienced before. This time:

• Long held assumptions on the way in which we deploy, utilize and derive value from IT will change.
• There will be a significant shift in way we'll be making IT decisions and who will be making them.
• The IT industry itself will face its greatest challenges forcing users to reassess the value of the IT supply chain.

With so much change occurring in the industry what are the most important trends to watch?

• The technology and business foundations for a second Internet revolution are in place. Many enterprises are now looking beyond Web 2.0 at the concept of cloud computing to manage shared computing resources.
• Process patents, open source and virtual property are all significant transformations to the intellectual property landscape which the general public are only just starting to realise. These changes will challenge organisational IT users to rethink both their role as consumers and their relationship with industry participants.
• Decisions made by consumers will continue to affect IT organizations because individuals will decide how they will use technology more than ever before. IT organizations need to consider societal trends that are impacting the workforce, and focus on designing rather than engineering IT that meets the demands of the business.

At this series of one-day seminars, your core perceptions of how IT can - and does - support the business will be fundamentally challenged. You will leave with a new perspective of the direction you are heading, and the real challenges and opportunities that lay ahead in the face of these emerging phenomena.
