KEYNOTE: Driving IT Value in a Cost Constrained Environment
Dale Kutnick, Founder and Chairman, META Group

Cost will be the key driver in IT decision making for the foreseeable future. Senior IT managers must carefully balance cost against consequences to successfully position the IT organisation as a valued partner in the business. Leading-edge enterprises are investing carefully in new technologies that will enable better business agility, efficiency, and effectiveness. They are aggressively attacking cross-functional processes (internal and external) enabled by service-oriented architectures.

KEYNOTE: From Strategy to Architecture
Daniel Lange, IT Strategy, BMW
Brian Burke, VP INTL, META Group

Grand strategy often fails, due to a breakdown in execution. Execution is by its very nature dynamic, however often the actions taken do not lead to the strategic goal space. Do strategy and execution make an unholy alliance?
This discussion takes a light-hearted look at the linkage between strategy and execution at both the theoretic and practical levels as viewed by META Group and BMW. The debate over the value of longer-term planning versus the shorter-term reaction is never-ending, however by applying simple logic of risks and rewards we can begin to put the question of “how much strategy is enough?” in context.

• Strategy development at BMW, a pragmatic approach to the long view
• Making strategy real – A case study of strategy execution
• A case for planning – the benefits of aligning strategy and architecture
