Summit for IT Executives Event Summary

Shape Your Future:
IT is changing. Does your team have what it takes?

  • Shift #1: Information Needs, How are the information needs of the enterprise changing and what can IT do to deliver?
  • Shift #2: Service Management, What are the lessons learned from organizations on the leading edge of service management?
  • Shift #3: Externalized Services, How are consumerization and the cloud accelerating the externalization of infrastructure?
  • Shift #4: Business Partner Responsibility, What are the most effective ways for IT to influence business partners?
  • Shift #5: IT Skills, How are the skills demanded of IT changing and what are leading practitioners doing to respond?

By 2015, IT will look radically different from today, yet most IT leadership teams are ill prepared.

  • 1 in 3 roles that exist within IT today will see declines of 80% or more.
  • Only 30% of business leaders believe IT has the capability to improve information usability.
  • More than 60% of infrastructure organizations anticipate use of public cloud hosting services by 2013.

Five radical shifts are permanently changing the IT function as we know it. The 2011 Summit allowed participants to assess their team’s “future readiness” and identify the best approaches to lead through this dramatic transformation in IT’s value, ownership, and role.

The Summit for IT Executives brought together CIOs and their IT leadership teams to identify the concrete steps your peers are taking to prepare for this radical change. The discussion was framed in business demands of IT and sparked by best practice examples from leading IT organizations.

Through a series of workshops and networking events, conference attendees discussed next steps to the shifts in corporate IT.
