Learning Objectives
About this seminar
This information-packed, intensive, practical one-day seminar focuses on how organisations deliver their business goals through innovation, transformation and IT. It is driven by the value chain for Enterprise Investment, which combines Enterprise Architecture with Portfolio Management of Investments in Change, all underpinned by exceptional Sourcing.
The consumerization of IT plus cloud-based delivery are together reshaping many industries and markets. Organisations know they need to innovate and transform, to exploit the opportunities of this 'perfect storm' in the IT market and handle its potential threats. Business leaders are, of course, looking to their IT people for leadership in how to make this happen.
How do the best IT leaders work with their colleagues in other departments to achieve performance-driven innovations and transformations ? What are the essential, practical elements of success?
Entirely based on first-hand experiences of what works, and what doesn’t, the seminar will help you:
- Explore the four generations of IT leadership
- Learn the value chain for Enterprise Investment
- Challenge the myths that surround innovation, transformation and IT
- Be creative in the way you design and use the practical elements for success
- Discover the 'end game' of corporate IT
- Maximise your contribution to business strategy and business results
Why should you attend this seminar?
This seminar can permanently change people's understanding of what IT leadership is all about, and of the potential that exists in IT departments. It will help you articulate to non-technical people the reasons why IT consumerization and cloud computing are game-changers for business strategy, not just IT strategy. You will be able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of your organisation's value chain for Enterprise Investment, and redesign the elements that need improving for innovations and transformations to deliver maximum value as efficiently as possible.

As a hands-on strategist and mentor, Chris's passion is helping executives and senior managers to drive the maximum possible performance from the innovations and changes they invest in. With a history steeped in real-world strategies, and the relentless pursuit of approaches that actually work, Chris has developed a deep understanding of the cultural, structural and operational reasons why enterprises succeed and fail at investing in innovation, change, and IT. His ability to rapidly turn this into tangible results is highly valued by the people he works with.

His audiences are typically Company Executives, Project Portfolio Managers, Enterprise Architects, and IT Leaders.
As an innovative writer, Chris is the author of probably the only trilogy of business novels on the planet - The FruITion Trilogy, which consists of the 3 books FruITion, RecrEAtion and DefrICtion. They explore in a series of stories narrated by three different people, how executives can drive high-performing investments in innovation and change, by starting with a new approach to their management of IT and ending with a strategy for Enterprise Investment. In keeping with Chris's groundbreaking approaches and strategy background, they are written using scenario planning techniques, film-making theory, and other influences.
