About This Seminar ...


Organizations of every type everywhere are striving to become more mature and capable in a multitude of disciplines at the same time. Success with introducing change at this rate requires deliberate alignment at every level of business perspectives with IT and other organizational capabilities.

Fundamental change in how work is conceived, designed and performed on the front lines is a challenge for IT departments. It requires an understanding of, and participation in, developing good business / IT strategy, great business architectures, superior business processes, prioritization of overwhelming demand for scarce resources, realistic portfolio and project planning, and the right level of governance. Projects and programs can no longer be undertaken as traditional stand-alone IT initiatives. This seminar shows you how to align all aspects of requirements for business solutions in your project, within or across business processes. It will help you to get all the pieces to fit together in a common-sense-manner.

This seminar is for business and IT managers and practitioners striving to achieve challenging business performance objectives either at the project or enterprise levels. It showcases the latest thinking and practices, supported by extensive case studies and examples. Sometimes controversial, always innovative, the proven best practices taught in this seminar are uniformly practical and implementable. There will also be significant opportunity to network with your peers facing the same challenges.

The brief facilitated workshop sessions are highly interactive and ensure peer-to-peer learning with other attendees.
