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.

Top athletes spend a lot of time mastering how to “win in the turns”, which is their strategy of taking calculated risks to deliver high returns.

Similarly, business executives must prepare to maneuver in strategy-shifting events.

Events like economic turns are common, but executives today must prepare for many more unexpected turns, such as catastrophic weather-related events, trade wars, political confrontations or market disruptions.

Gartner studied how 60 growth companies separated themselves from peers during the Great Recession, the biggest turn in recent memory.

In this Gartner webinar, Michael Uskert (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Supply Chain Chief Of Research reveals how you can develop your winning in the turns strategy by strengthening three core supply chain pillars: Strategy, Cost and Talent.

Discussion Topics:

• Prepare your strategy to act confidently amid uncertainty
• Implement cost management discipline to allocate and execute resources while spurring innovation
• Position talent to sustain progress on transformation
