Presentation: "Enterprise-IT Ecology"
Time:
Thursday 11:45 - 12:45
Location:
City
Abstract: The dream has always been: "erasing the artificial lines between business and Information Technology (IT) so that IT becomes a ubiquitous, integral and vital asset to the company and leads decision-making, structural change and enterprise-wide quality initiatives, drives efficiency and revenue, and provides measurable, clear return on investment." This presentation will discuss why that has not happened and how it still can become a reality.
Training: "Designing the Enterprise"
Time:
Monday 13:00 - 16:00
Location:
Concordia
Abstract:
This tutorial will begin with a short outline of what is necessary to implement a "business ecology" - an in depth integration of the business with IT to support innovation, adaptability, and strategy. Most of the tutorial will focus on specific objectives that must be satisfied to design and implement a business ecology along with practical techniques to realize those objectives.
