Expanding the Mandate – Next Practices in Business/IT Leadership
Executive Forum – September 19, 2007, Washington D.C.
It’s a paradox. IT is steadily becoming more important to businesses, and yet too often the enterprise IT function is not. Professionals in virtually every area of corporate activity are leveraging IT to create new value and gain new efficiencies, while the contribution of enterprise IT is often confined to traditional IT services.
Dan Pink, best-selling author of A Whole New Mind, and Daniel C. Esty, author of From Green to Gold: How Smart Companies Use Environmental Strategy to Innovate, Create Value and Build Competitive Advantage will be the keynote speakers.
This intensive one-day session also features our own LEF researchers and associates, who will help you:
- Raise the image and profile of enterprise IT
- Adopt an "open innovation" approach that spans your firm’s entire business ecosystem
- Deploy powerful models and frameworks for strategic IT positioning
- Integrate environmental thinking throughout your overall business/IT strategy
This event is open to CIOs and senior IT executives. Space is limited. or contact Victoria Gristwood at (703) 641-3479 for more information. Register
