During the past few years IT strategic planning has been focused on aligning IT capabilities with the business direction. It dealt with elements primarily within the organization’s control such as core systems, business process improvement, ERP and transactional systems, IT organization design and IT governance. But now the world has changed with Web 2.0 technologies. And many of the new technologies extend outside the organization. How can these technologies be managed and used especially in these rapidly changing economic times?
IT Strategy 2.0
The approach to developing an IT strategic plan is evolving and the focus of the planning process has changed.

IT Strategic Planning 1.0 focused on alignment, but now Web 2.0 has arrived. IT Strategic Planning 2.0 takes us beyond alignment to confluence of business strategy and the IT strategy and the employment of Web 2.0 technologies. These new technologies - blogs, SaaS, Mashups, Wikis, social networks, collaboration, podcasting and so on - are pervasive, extending the domain of IT beyond the organization to almost everywhere and everything outside of it. IT Strategic Planning 2.0 is a practical approach for dealing with the Web 2.0 world and preparing IT to deal with rapidly changing economic times.

Please join two industry thought leaders on the subject of IT Strategic Planning to explore the elements of a successful IT Strategy which includes Web 2.0 technologies.

The key take aways from this session will be:
  • Why you need to develop an IT Strategy 2.0 TODAY to deal with uncertain economic times.
  • The difference between IT Strategic Planning 1.0 versus 2.0. and what it means to you
  • A practical approach to crafting an IT strategy that leverages Web 2.0 technologies.
  • An understanding of the elements that comprise an IT Strategic Plan 2.0
  • How to leverage best practices and frameworks such as ITIL, COBIT, etc. in strategy development and execution.
  • How IT Strategy 2.0 will make your IT organization more flexible and agile.

The Webinar includes Q&A session.
