In an era where AI’s potential is burgeoning, technology, data, and security leaders face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. The Forrester Technology & Innovation Summit APAC 2024 is your gateway to navigating this transformative landscape. Join us in Sydney on October 29, 2024, to harness the power of tech, talent, and AI, and drive your business to new heights. Last year, there was a lot of talk (and even more questions) about the AI revolution.
This year, while we still firmly believe in an AI future, the pace is moderating as tech executives realize that they must navigate around concerns for AI skills, governance, security, and ROI. Forrester’s Budget Planning Survey, 2024, indicates a strong commitment among technology leaders to enhance their AI capabilities, with 92% planning to increase their budgets in areas such as data management and AI. Without a strategic approach rooted in high-performance IT principles, however, these investments risk being squandered.
Unleash Your Potential With High-Performance IT
Delivering business results through technology requires tech leaders to align, adapt, and develop a higher level of trust with business teams. At the Summit, you’ll gain invaluable insights into how top-performing firms synchronize, refine and continually optimize their technology strategies to meet evolving business needs. Explore four distinct high-performance IT (HPIT) styles and learn how regularly calibrating your approach can instill deeper trust with business stakeholders. Assess the potential of emerging technologies, like predictive and generative AI, on business growth, productivity, and innovation.
Cultivate An Adaptive Mindset for AI Success
High-performance IT isn’t static; it thrives on adaptability and responsiveness. Explore how an adaptive mindset can drive high-performance IT, ensuring technology investments remain aligned with business needs amid technological advances and market shifts. Avoid the trap of heavy lifting to restore confidence in IT delivery, only to let it drift from what truly drives organizational performance. Instead, discover how continual but incremental changes to IT capabilities allow you to be more flexible in the long term. And learn the key characteristics of an adaptive mindset and see real-world examples of companies that have successfully adopted this approach.
Measure Success And Drive Alignment
All organizations have KPIs (or are gravitating toward OKRs), but these metrics are often misaligned, unclear, lack accountability, or worse, encourage competition instead of collaboration. Discover why the wrong metrics can derail HPIT efforts and learn comprehensive strategies for achieving measurement alignment. You’ll uncover effective techniques for driving cross-functional collaboration, ensuring every metric tracked contributes effectively to powering business results.
Understand Your CISO To Build Trust Both Internally And Externally
In the realm of high-performance IT, trust is paramount, not only between IT and its users, but also between the organisation and its customers. Achieving both means ensuring you have an effective approach to both security and risk. Making your CISO an integral part of IT strategy planning to avoid operational silos is critical in the face of rising human-centered risk. Discover the key characteristics of Asia Pacific CISOs, understand how your CISO’s background can impact your strategy, and learn how to hire the right CISO. Gain insights on aligning your strategy to garner maximum support for your HPIT capabilities.
