Forrester: - Making Leaders Successful Every Day

Registered Attendees: Log in here to download available event presentations.

Your primary job as a CIO is really no different from that of your executive peers. You are on the hook to boost the firm’s performance, search for opportunities to attract and retain customers and do more with less in a changing economy. But you have a secret weapon: a vision for how technology makes previously impractical business ideas a reality. The key is to keep the vision fresh and stay on top of innovative technologies that drive the next wave of business technology. You need a game plan:

• Break down the internal barriers and get closer to your customers using social technologies.
• Deliver functionality and information to employees, partners, and customers — wherever they are — through ubiquitous mobile technologies.
• Optimize physical and human assets with Smart Computing technologies that combine edge-enabled awareness with real-time analysis.
• Gain agility and radical “time-to-deliver” improvements by embracing cloud technologies for your computing platforms.

But this game plan won’t deliver without innovative leadership and change management techniques. Explore ways to radically improve your ability to turn ideas into tangible solutions through:

• Organizational models, processes, and skills designed to harness the talents of the technology innovators in your organization.
• Demand management and portfolio optimization practices that help you prioritize the correct number of innovation projects without putting your organization at risk.
• Business service and capability modeling techniques designed to communicate the business value of new technology solutions.
