Show your work: How tech leaders make transformation legible

Translating technology impact into clear business value

HotTopics Food for Thought in partnership with 

Every technology executive would argue that technology is a strategic enabler for business change. Historically, however, some have struggled to explain, in terms their CEO or CFO would appreciate, how the technology estate is driving margins, protecting revenue or reducing risk. 

And that has become a problem for the IT-business dynamic - and joined-up business transformation as a result.

In this session, we explore how CIOs can close the translation gap between tech investment and business outcomes - using a clear view of the application estate, process performance, and real execution data to speak the language of the CFO, COO, and board.
