Track A

Transformation: Building the Value
Today’s top executives know that successful business growth and transformation require a business strategy integrated with IT. Business transformation can no longer occur 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. Building value from all these elements of transformation is the heart of this track.

Track B

Transformation: Harnessing the Drivers
The emphasis of IT is shifting from the “T” to the “I”, from technology to information. IT is no longer a distinct activity. It’s intertwined with business intelligence, business process management, resource management, strategic planning – and more. 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.

Track C

Transformation: Making It Happen
The management of IT is in transition. As IT becomes more critical to day-to-day operations and to the strategic development of many enterprises, business leaders need a closer understanding of what technology can do and how it can change their markets. It’s less and less true that the management of IT is only within the IT organization. This demands transformation within leadership, management, people and organizations.
