By making significant contributions to the strategic planning of digital business transformation initiatives, CIOs will shift from an environment of managing systems that support business operations to realizing systems that define the organization.

CIOs will need to expand their mental models to succeed at this planning and transformation.

For decades, systems thinking has been the defining paradigm that has driven engineering-centric IT departments in solution design.

Moving forward, new paradigms like Theory of Constraints will need to be understood and woven into IT operations in order to deliver a successful solution for a hyper-complex digital economy.

Join Brian Prentice (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Research VP for this informative session.

Discussion Topics:

• How systems thinking can lead to suboptimal digital transformation outcomes
• Why thinking about what’s not possible leads to the best possible solution
• How a simplified approach to Theory of Constraints can be applied to digital business transformation
