What must I do to increase performance and manage IT costs?
How will IT create business value and contribute to renewed business activity?
What needs to be in my IT strategic plan, and what expectations should I be setting for the business and my organization in 2010?
How do I get the people, resources and capabilities necessary to deliver on my plan? How do I motivate, measure and guide performance?
What are the skills, abilities and relationships required of me and my team to lead today and into the future?
What are the sources of IT-driven innovation and competitive advantage?
