How IT Executives Can Manage Enterprise Changes
Increasingly, government CIOs are being asked to respond to and drive changes at the enterprise level. The new IT agenda is focused on achieving cost efficiencies, leveraging mission impact from the combination of new web technologies, balancing programs and portfolios of IT-intensive investment projects, and tightly coupling line-of-business priorities with IT capabilities. The scale and complexity of these demands require clear recipes for success. In this Government InFocus event, you'll learn critical elements for positioning IT for a successful enterprise change.

Agenda

Essential Enterprise Change Strategies

Enterprise Change - Making IT Happen
Every day, we are all bombarded with the need to change. One moment we need to change because of upcoming elections. The next moment change is being driven by a budget crisis, new technology trend, upcoming retirement of key staff, new regulations, a security breach, or new business requirements, etc. This presentation will review IT leaders can effectively drive change at the enterprise level.

Five Mutually Reinforcing Web Trends Impacting Enterprise IT
Over the past ten years the Web has been a primary driver of enterprise information technology evolution and business value. This phenomenon is accelerating with new and rapidly advancing trends around consumerization, Web 2.0, SOA, SaaS, and cloud computing. Taken separately, each of these five trends are important. However the true transformational impact on the enterprise occurs when each of the five amplifies the force of the other four.

PMOs that Make A Difference
This presentation will discuss the success factors for the PMO that go beyond the standards - into the organization, maturity level, roles, and metrics the PMO needs to meet today's challenges and evolve for tomorrow.

Sorting Through Enterprise IT Governance
Governance is a "squishy" word, often saddled with the baggage of different meanings and credibility problems. Who makes decisions about IT spending? What processes and information are used to do it? How can federated governance structures work? Answers to these questions form the essence of IT governance - managing dynamic business side demand and IT supply issues.

Analyst Wrap-up Roundtable
Gartner analysts will share important "take-aways" from their discussions though out the day to help you focus on critical next steps necessary to leverage successful enterprise IT change management.
