Technology & Innovation Summit
APAC

Alignment, Trust, and Adaptivity are the core guiding principles of Forrester’s high-performance IT model. They are not just theoretical constructs, but practical tools that have been proven to drive superior business results.

In this invitation-only discussion for Technology Executives, held over a private lunch, we’ll explore how organisations including the winner of Forrester’s Technology Strategy Impact Award have used these principles to shape the right IT strategy and achieve their business goals. To succeed in today’s environment, despite being in a state of ‘perma-crisis’, tech execs must develop an IT strategy and operating model that delivers business success – and this will only come from building better alignment, trust, and adaptivity. Join us for this insightful session as we dissect these principles and provide practical guidance on how to drive high performance across these three dimensions.

Join us for an open and honest discussion focused on practical strategies for male allies to support and advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. This session will emphasize the importance of understanding and addressing conscious and unconscious biases, actively understanding your colleagues’ experiences, and using your position and influence to create change, making the tech industry and beyond an inviting environment for all people, voices, and perspectives.

In this session, you will learn from our male ally speakers that:

• Inclusion requires intentional effort — learn how to speak up against exclusion and how to become an active ally.
• Exclusion can be accidental — learn how to avoid being an accidental jerk.
• There are horror stories your colleagues may not have told you — learn how to pay attention to the experiences of women in the workplace.
• Mentorship and sponsorship matter — learn how you can mentor and sponsor your colleagues to close gender pay gaps, advance their careers, and promote visibility.
