Optimizing and Streamlining IT for Business Agility

With the increased emphasis on "digital transformation" and "agility" in Enterprises worldwide, it has become more difficult to separate facts from beliefs, experiences from opinions, and sound practices from declarations.

The field appears so irregular because academia, publications, consultants, and practitioners, present IT practices with disparate voices advancing a multitude of approaches, meanings, and sets of expectations—some based on internet writings, some based on conjecture, some based on opinion and yes, some based on sound practices.

This presentation includes fact-based descriptions and approaches for "digital transformation" and "agility," which are grounded in sound practices and principles based on decades of field engagements and experience.

"Digital Transformation" is the investment and alignment of optimized or new business models with technologies that best engage customers. This places additional demands on the business technology organization.

Couple this with the recognition that these transformations may involve process (both business and technology) transformations, changes in the business model itself, "cultural"/value realignments, and organization transformations, and the "IT business model" will at least need a review!

The pressure on IT to deliver technology-enabled change to the business can be looked at negatively or as an opportunity to really bring agility to the business through agility in technology delivery. How can IT leaders actually bring this about?

This broadcast will bring some insights into both business agility and technology agility – tune in to see how.
