  • Please join us at The Broadmoor's  Mountain Course for the CIO 100 Golf Tournament.  This tournament brings participants of all skill levels together for a  morning of networking and relaxing play. The redesigned Mountain Course opened in July 2006. Back in 1959, Jack Nicklaus won his first national title and first major championship, the US Amateur Championship, on the links at the Broadmoor. Some 47 years later, his company, Nicklaus Design, brought the legacy full circle with a redesign of this highly regarded golf venue. The wonderfully scenic course gives the appearance of being in place since the property's initial development in 1918. The renovated course plays to a maximum of 7,700 yards, par 72, and features wide, forgiving fairways and large greens with sweeping views. The tournament will be held in scramble format and open to all CIO 100 conference participants. AT&T will be awarding six BlackBerrys to the winning foursome, longest drive and closest to the pin.

    Janice Fischer
    World Wide Vice President for IT Optimization
    IBM

    Catalyst for change. Expert on what's possible. Guru of risk management. These are some of the many roles CIOs will play in the Enterprise of the Future, a vision outlined in the 2008 IBM Global CEO Study.

    The study results foretell an Enterprise of the Future characterized by accelerating, wide-ranging and uncertain change. The CEOs who participated in the study are embracing this change. They are setting a new enterprise agenda centered around change that encompasses innovation, global integration, evolving business models and a new focus on corporate social responsibility.

    This session will examine what this new CEO agenda means to CIOs.  It will challenge CIOs to become leaders and masters of change by enabling flexible, automated IT infrastructures that can dynamically respond to change, as well as, drive change across the enterprise.  It also lays down an imperative for CIOs to be innovative in their product differentiation, integrated across the globe, disruptive in their business models and genuine in their concern for society.

    Turning to Telepresence for Global Business Collaboration
    Facilitator: Dale McHenry
    Vice President, Enterprise Data Networks
    AT&T

    A fully immersive audio and visual environment can transform not only boardroom meetings and corporate training experiences, but overall business initiatives and processes, as well. A comprehensive managed solution for telepresence – one that includes a turn-key service package; end-to-end application assessment, design and installation; multiple equipment options and dedicated global connectivity -- can make all the difference as companies face restricted travel, budget cuts and the need to make fast decisions, "face to face."The use of these technologies  can greatly speed up decision making while simultaneously trimming  costs.

    AT&T's new Telepresence Solution is a global business-to-business collaboration service that combines the coverage of AT&T's global VPN network with the functionality of Cisco's telepresence hardware and software.  In this session, learn how your company can turn to telepresence to:

    *  Accelerate time to market for new products and updates
    *  Enhance collaboration with suppliers, partners and employees
    *  Facilitate the exchange of ideas and foster innovation
    *  Eliminate the time, expense and inefficiency of travel

    Fixed Mobile Convergence in Higher Education
    Facilitator: Chris Hill
    Vice President, Sales, EBS, GEM
    AT&T

    As mobile devices become increasingly powerful and networks focus more on distributed services, electronic communications will take monumental leaps over the next few years. The goal is moving toward providing unified services anytime, anywhere. That is both the premise and promise of unified communications.

    Higher education institutions are uniquely positioned to be early adopters of this new class of electronic communications. The mobile nature of academic professionals makes them well-suited as a group to begin using integrated cellular and WiFi devices as "unified clients" in the evolving architecture of integrated landline and wireless communications.  

    The evolving unified communications architecture will help those involved in higher education manage all their communication activities from a single device, including:
    *  Seamless call management and services between landline and cellular services.
    *  Cellular and WiFi device (SIP) bidirectional call handoffs.
    *  Greater on-campus call capability by leveraging WiFi enabled campuses.
    *  Greater Multi-Media services delivery by way of IP and IMS integrated networks.

    The promise is connecting academic professionals in higher education to any form of electronic communication with any device at any time and from anywhere.

    Mobility in the workplace is a core driver in how businesses receive and deliver information. Expectations are that the technology is going to continue accelerating the steep growth of mobility across all industries. It's not just about the technology itself, though.  Is your organization ready? Do you have the solution in place for this and the next wave of streamlined communication?
     
    In this session, you'll learn how wirelessly enabling key business processes can deliver greater efficiency and streamline your workforce's day- to-day communication:

    How CIOs Can Get More Truth -- and ROI -- from BI.
    Facilitator: Steven DeLoye
    Business Intelligence Manager
    HP Software
     
    CIOs understand that Business Intelligence -- BI -- isn't about delivering the right information to the right people at the right time. It's about making the right decisions for the right business outcomes.

    Amplify Business Value by Delivering IT as a Service
    Speaker: Ellen Barry
    CIO
    Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority

    sponsored by Citrix

    The top businesses consistently meet the challenge of providing excellent IT service to both their internal and external customers. And they do all this while running a tight ship. Now imagine if your ship was a diverse organization that included Chicago's McCormick Place, the Navy Pier and the Hyatt McCormick Place, as well as your own police, fire and power departments. In this session, you'll hear from a CIO whose dynamic customer base expects high-quality IT services, delivered with immediate access, consistency and ease of use.  You'll learn how she implemented an end-to-end visionary approach to:

    *  Provide easy-to-support high availability for desktop and remote users
    *  Use latest technologies to deliver value and security

    Green IT – Moving Beyond the Two Percent Solution

    Speaker:
    David Moschella
    Global Research Director
    CSC's Leading Edge Forum

    Environmental considerations are emerging as the next frontier in operational excellence, and enterprise IT is destined to play an important role. If all of the data centers and personal computers in the world were completely unplugged, energy experts predict total world energy usage would fall by just two percent. Nevertheless, virtually all of today's extensive "Green IT" coverage has focused on the need to build more energy efficient data centers and use more power-conscious desktop computers. 

    CSC's Leading Edge Forum has recently conducted research that reveals flawed logic in current Green IT thinking. The Green IT debate has largely missed two significant environmental stories:
    *  There are many environmental problems created by the rapid technological obsolescence implicit in Moore's Law.
    *  IT has the potential to greatly reduce energy usage across the wider global economy.

    In this session, David Moschella will present recent CSC research findings concerning the most important opportunities in Green IT. He will also provide models for companies to use as they develop holistic business/IT environmental strategies.

    From Theory into Practice: One Hospital's Success with a Balanced Scorecard Initiative
    Speaker:
    Susan Schade
    CIO
    Brigham and Women's Hospital

    sponsored by SAS

    Over the past several years, Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) has successfully implemented a balanced scorecard, one of the first health care organizations to delve into the benefits of this performance planning and measurement framework. First publicized in the 1990s by management gurus Robert Kaplan and David Norton, the scorecard is essentially a tool to monitor organizational strategy. BWH has been so successful with its approach that the healthcare provider was inducted into the Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame for Executing Strategy in October, 2006.  Along this journey, BWH  transitioned through three key phases that ultimately proved the value of information: Performance measurement, performance management, and strategic management. Join CIO Sue Schade in this session to:

    Understand one organization's approach to Balanced Scorecard initiative including lessons learned:
    *  Hear details on some specific lessons and valuable takeaways
    *  Consider how Balanced Scorecard can be used within a strategic framework to drive performance and improvements

  • Speaker:  John Sviokla
  • Vice Chairman
  • Diamond Management & Technology Consultants, Inc.

  • How can executives create value with technology? That question has been the focus of author and educator John Sviokla's research and global consulting work during the past two decades. Too many businesses today take a great idea and run straight toward the implementation finish line, he contends, thus skipping over the experimentation and idea-testing steps vital to lasting success. In this hands-on working session, CIOs will form teams that develop their own strategies for how IT can foster the kind of ideas that ultimately change an organization's position in a marketplace. John will guide the audience through a  five-step approach that moves from original concept to real-world implementation, with a focus on crafting "sticky ideas" that take hold in the organization.

    AT&T

    As the velocity of business change increases and innovation occurs in real time, companies struggle to keep up. There is a push to go global, to go mobile and to provide spontaneous "always on" communications. Mobile devices and applications continue to play a key role as business reacts to the rapid velocity of changing communication requirements.

    Recent developments in three areas are fueling and facilitating how companies manage this wave of technological change:
    *  Telepresence solutions are revolutionizing the manner in which companies do business. Person to person no longer means "in person."
    *  Mobile devices like the iPhone provide spontaneous communication and the opportunity to leverage more software and business applications than ever before.
    *  The dynamic integration of mobile devices and applications, what many call unified communications, is the notion of getting all of these communication choices tied together in one view through any device at any time and in any location.
     
    AT&T's holistic approach toward accelerating business velocity, and its approach toward unified communications, provides increased agility, enhanced performance, stronger security, broader control and faster innovation.


    Better Business Value through Performance Management
    Speaker:
    Debbie Karcher
    CIO
    Miami-Dade County Public Schools

    sponsored by Cognos

    Decision-makers across any organization need to know the plan. They need to weigh options, assess impact and understand outcomes to achieve their goals. They need focused information that provides concrete answers in order to make the best choices.

    The Miami-Dade County School Board delivered the right information to decision makers so they could align operations with school district goals. By doing so, they extended the life of legacy systems, while still complying with the data requirements of the federal "No Child Left Behind" program. They also cut costs and improved student achievement and performance.

    Miami-Dade County School Board accomplished all this with IT budgets that have remained flat for the past three years. In this session, you'll learn from CIO Debbie Karcher about her district's highly effective use of a performance management solution, and what the school district learned during its implementation.

    CPS Energy's Magellan Program: Transforming a Workforce with Mobile Technologies
    Speaker:
    Christopher Barron
    CIO
    CPS Energy

    Imagine a world of realtime global connectivity that transforms everyone on your staff into a fully-networked knowledge worker with access to any and all corporate information resources. That was where the Magellan program was aiming to land when it launched in 2006, just as the $2B San Antonio-based energy company became the first company in the U.S. in 30 years to file with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to construct a new nuclear power facility (in partnership with NRG Energy). Innovative use of mobile technologies has enabled CPS Energy to significantly improve supply chain, operations and asset tracking, ultimately delivering IT services anywhere in the world without the need for a global support staff. In this case study, CIO Christopher Barron will describe how this award-winning project dramatically changed CPS Energy's social dynamic, raised the visibility, reputation (and budget) of IT, and delivered great strategic benefit by speeding up the process through which field and professional staff now respond to customers, partners and regulators. Attendees will experience the Magellan program first-hand as it is demonstrated in a video that captures CPS Energy employees in action.

    Creating a Framework and Process for Innovation
    Speaker:
    Robert Urwiler
    CIO
    Vail Resorts

    Everybody craves innovation, yet one of the toughest aspects of innovating is defining it and showing people how to go about it. CIO Robert Urwiler of Vail Resorts has been working with an innovation framework developed within the CIO Executive Council, a peer-advisory service of CIOmagazine. This framework characterizes innovative initiatives by focus, degree of creativity and intention -- enabling CIOs to map their IT portfolio and discover unexpected patterns in their approach to innovation. In this practical discussion of how CIOs can use such a framework to surface, capture, test and implement innovative ideas, Robert will share his own process for driving customer-facing innovation as he walks us through the Council's framework.

    The Heart of the Matter (A Sharepoint Portal Story)
    Speaker:
    Peter Lane
    CIO
    Goodwin Proctor LLP

    Each time a lawyer engages with a client and jots down some information, a "matter" is born at Boston-based Goodwin Procter LLP. That matter keeps multiplying into massive reams of information, legal documents, contacts, billing and more --  all stored in various systems. Now multiply that matter by 850 attorneys working with clients from New York to LA and step right into CIO Peter Lane's world at one of the nation's leading law firms. Goodwin's award-winning "Matter Pages" project tackled this tactical problem with a strategic approach to integration tools that leveraged the firm's Sharepoint portal. In this case study session, Peter will detail the deployment and results of the Matter Pages project, which improved client relationships, streamlined back-officer operations and, most importantly, gave the business an additional competitive advantage.
