Developing a strategy has become easier over the past few years, with 15 pages replacing hundreds.

But even 15 pages can be 14 too many when trying to communicate how information and technology (I&T) contribute to enterprise success.

There is a science to developing an IT strategy, and there is an art. This complimentary Gartner strategy-and-planning webinar explores the art of strategic planning, helping attendees learn how to articulate I&T’s contribution to business success.

Strategic planning is at the heart of any enterprise, and alignment with the corporate strategic plan is often a key concern of CIOs.

There is a science to developing an IT strategy, and there is an art.

This session explores the art of strategic planning, helping attendees articulate IT’s contribution to business success.

Discussion Topics:

• How storytelling is an integral element of strategy
• Techniques for developing an artful 1-page strategy
• The components of an IT strategy when using “science” to develop it
• Techniques for developing an ‘artful’ one-page strategy
• How to effectively use the 1-page strategy

Assurance reviews are essential to the overall good governance of major public projects and programs; in this webinar, Hang Vo, Terry Williams (LinkedIn profile), & Richard Kirkham (LinkedIn profile) explores  some of the challenges around framing and implementing assurance review recommendations during the life-cycle.

PMI funded a research study led by The University of Hull, which seeks to uncover how the treatment of assurance review data influences recommendations and the subsequent actions (or inactions) that arise, using a definitive set of data.

During the webinar,  the presenters discuss some of the implications arising from the findings of this study, explore suggestions for improving current assurance processes in practice and identify recommendations for future research.
