Description:

While most executives believe that technology plays a key role in gaining competitive advantage, their IT staff is caught up in fighting the sludge in IT's engines — improving development and infrastructure operations — leaving IT managers afraid or just unable to take a pro-active role in business innovation.

The time has come for IT leaders to lay the foundation for business technology by taking the following steps

• Rationalize below an SOA layer and drive business technology innovation above it
• Engage in a formal dialog with the business on innovative ideas by placing them in the IT portfolio
• Develop a culture of innovation inside IT

Agenda

• Understanding business innovation
• IT's role in business innovation
• Laying innovation's foundation
• Building an innovation pipeline process
• Creating a culture of innovation
