Many enterprises and their IT teams continue to struggle with the accelerating pace of change being brought about by the new digital technologies, business model innovation and increased competitive tempo. This challenge is more than “change management”; this is a broader problem – a need to accelerate organization transformation and evolve cultural norms. During this IDC web conference, our analysts will share both cultural frameworks and specific, tangible tactics for executive IT leaders, noted within our research, that have been found to power IT’s broader organizational transformation.

IT Org Transformation – Seven Strategies We Can Implement This Week

CIOs, CPOs and business unit leaders overwhelmingly agree that technology sourcing and procurement is critical for digital transformation and legacy system modernization. Nevertheless, recent IDC research confirms that technology sourcing and procurement organizations are challenged to deliver what their businesses require. IT and line of business executives report of their procurement organizations that: 
•          54% do not understand business needs
•          62% are undermined by shadow procurement
•          Only 10% work effectively within cross-functional teams

Procurement organizations have a choice of transforming themselves or watching other enterprise organizations assume the responsibility for sourcing the technology that supports key business initiatives. In this IDC web conference, we will identify the top challenges identified by Procurement, IT, and LOB executives, and discuss strategies for transforming procurement organizations from tactical administrative centers to strategic sourcing partners for the enterprise.

Sourcing and Vendor Management – A Critical Component of Digital Strategy

Digital transformation presents an opportunity for established organizations to make significant changes to their businesses and operations through new technologies — creating improved and even disruptive business outcomes. Once these digital transformation objectives have been established, success metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) can guide the path to measuring performance and investments effectively. Traditional metrics (e.g., revenues, cost efficiencies) are no longer enough and must be blended with new metrics that can measure the short and long-term impact of management’s transformation investment decisions.

Develop Your Own KPIs for Digital Transformation

A recent IDC survey showed that 85% of U.S. companies have undertaken rationalization and modernization, but only 35% are achieving success in their efforts. How can organizations tackle this rationalization and modernization challenge?

This web conference addresses the fact that digital businesses require technology modernization to sustain digital transformation. You will also take away how to deal with one of IT's greatest challenges -- coping with the sprawl of innovative new technology implementations initiated by business units, and rationalizing legacy while containing cloud sprawl.

Tech Modernization & Rationalization: Refocus to Accelerate DX

Cloud sprawl is one of the top three challenges faced by CIOs, with over 90% of enterprises impacted. The simplicity of spinning up a new SaaS application in the cloud has emboldened LOBs to go solo. Enterprise LOBs, eager to transform their operations, are rushing to implement cloud-based SaaS solutions, often without support from IT. Unfortunately, with each implementation, technical debt accumulates. Although initial pilot costs may be minimal, as applications begin to scale, their financial impact becomes significant. In the face of this complex set of challenges, it falls to IT executives to keep cloud sprawl from casting a dark shadow on the enterprise.

Cloud Sprawl: Avoiding the Sprawl of Uncontrolled Innovation

No enterprise can be completely secure, and in the uncertainty that necessarily permeates the landscape, others will find fault. This web conference provides a way for CIOs to use proven scientific and economic principles to enhance their organizations’ security position. Simply put, the most effective security programs reduce the most risk with the least resources; therefore, an organization must find a way to measure the efficacy of its security program to understand how much of the risk it is reducing after it applies security controls. With the appropriate key risk indicator (KRI) data collected, organizations can determine which initiatives are ultimately the most useful in their security program.

The CIO’s Top 10 Strategic Security Metrics

New digital technologies and business strategies are changing the fabric of our organization's products, services and customer engagement models. In turn, these changes have redefined the CIO's role with the Board, with their Peers and with their Teams – creating a mandate for CIO's to consciously rethink their communication strategies, tactics and methods. This session provides three unique communication frameworks for CIO's to guide their communication with the Board, their enterprise Peers and their Teams.

Understanding What's Blocking Digital Transformation (DX)

This IDC web conference provides a step-by-step guide to creating a successful data management initiative. Data investments and costs are skyrocketing as data volume, variety, and velocity grow exponentially; at the same time, siloed data initiatives and lack of deep expertise are limiting outcomes and speed. As a result, waste and complexity are growing exponentially, and many companies are being left behind the competition. Companies need an iterative approach to addressing the challenges that organizations face as they spool up their data management capabilities.

Learn what research coverage from IDC is available for CIOs and IT Executives that are leading their teams through digital transformation.

Overview | IDC IT Executive Programs

Digital business requires a solid grasp of what’s working well and what’s not: for IT leaders, metrics demonstrate the value of their contributions. But in the hyper-competitive world of digital transformation, we know that traditional performance indicators don’t serve organizations well. Companies must develop a new approach to metrics that enables them to quantify value, remain competitive in the marketplace, and prepare for the future. This web conference empowers you to exploit metrics to accelerate your organization’s digital success.

Key Questions Addressed:
• What are some new ways to accelerate and measure the effectiveness of digital transformation initiatives?
• How will IT economics and metrics help drive new digital transformation-oriented business models?
• How can new digital transformation KPIs demonstrate and communicate IT’s unique competitive value to the enterprise?
• How can spending and IT metrics increase alignment of IT budgeting with business imperatives?

IT Economics and KPIs: Metrics that Matter to Assess Digital Transformation

The challenge for IT executives and their organizations is two-fold: first, to continue to operate IT’s existing systems of record at extraordinary levels of reliability; and second, to support business units with new innovation initiatives as they respond to insistent threats and opportunities in the marketplace. This web conference focuses on the second part of IT’s challenge. Drawing on interviews with CIOs and recent survey data, it shares specific practices that enable IT leaders and their IT organization to execute on their company’s digital innovation strategy.

This web conference addresses the following questions:
• How should business and IT leaders identify their goals for innovation?
• How should IT leaders support the right initiatives and people?
• How can leaders optimize innovation spending through the use of metrics?
• How can IT work with start-ups to achieve innovation objectives?

Executing Your Digital Innovation Strategy

By 2022, IDC forecasts that 80% of enterprise revenue growth will depend directly on digital offerings and operations. To benefit from this growth opportunity, IT and business leaders of the enterprise must prepare by building up the correct capabilities.

During this session, you will learn new IT capabilities (processes, platforms, talent, governance) needed for digital transformation, and walk away with the three critical digital strategies many organizations are pursuing: experiential engagement, data monetization, and digital business at scale.

Key Questions Addressed:
• What technology management strategies and practices should IT organizations adopt as digital business capabilities are requested by the various business units?
• What is a technology capability, and how is it different than IT's existing implementation models?
• How should CIOs and technology leaders begin their own technology capabilities journey?
