2. CONFERENCE AGENDA
“Technology is now so ubiquitous and so central to business enablement that arguably the responsibilities of any business
executive will include most of the essential elements of what today is in the CIO's exclusive domain.”
Paul Bellack, CIO Magazine
This quote represents the fundamental need for all business leaders to embrace and understand the
changing technological landscape and the undiscovered potential in leveraging the partnership
between business goals and strategic IT.
As the i-generation of customers grows, and competing enterprises become increasingly agile and
connected, can you afford to lag behind, stuck in the doldrums of inefficient and cumbersome
operations?
As Peter Drucker states in his recent publication Management: Task, Responsibility Strategy, every
business has similar, simple goals: “Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the
business enterprise has two—and only these two—basic functions: marketing and innovation.”
Through detailed research with Forrester, innovation leaders such as IBM and across our growing
network of IT and business leaders, we are discovering the invaluable benefits pioneers of IT/business
alignment are reaping through effective, sustainable change. How are you going to discover the
secrets behind forging strategic partnerships to innovate for future success?
BITCON 2012 is a unique forum, delivering insightful commentary from leading innovator executives
and the opportunity to tailor your agenda to your level of maturity through our interactive, streamed
discussions around business critical issues:
- BPM and Beyond
- Data Management
- Customer centric process delivery
- Fostering a culture of continuous improvement
- Effective strategising with business partners
Gone are the days of back to back PowerPoints – this is pure peer-to-peer exchange through
extended discussion and keynote sessions, helping you find a common language with your IT and
business partners.
I look forward to meeting you in London this June.
Kind regards,
Katie Biltoo
