CIO Coaching Series:
Aligning Information Technology and the Business
to Achieve Superior Performance
Enterprises have invested heavily in Information Technology (IT) with the promise
of delivering better information to help manage the business.
Historically, IT has been managed as a separate entity in the company, isolated
from its core business activities.
This isolation has prevented IT and its
management from becoming active participants in helping meet the organization's
business strategies.
The IT and business disconnect results in business intelligence systems that
fail to meet user expectations. This disconnect widens as the business becomes more
complex and changes at a rapid rate. ... more ...

Abstract:
CIO Coaching Series:
"Aligning Information Technology and the Business
to Achieve Superior Performance"
Enterprises have invested heavily in Information Technology (IT) with the promise of delivering
better information to help manage the business. Historically, IT has been managed as a separate
entity in the company, isolated from its core business activities. This isolation has prevented
IT and its management from becoming active participants in helping meet the organization's
business strategies. The IT and business disconnect results in business intelligence systems that
fail to meet user expectations. This disconnect widens as the business becomes more complex and
changes at a rapid rate.
Based on his extensive research, Dr. Langer's presentation addresses how IT executives can better
align themselves as strategic partners in their business through process and organizational
improvements. Dr. Langer's work paves new ground on how chief executives perceive the role of IT,
and how to use it strategically to deliver value to the organization.
Cliff Longman will discuss a revolutionary new solution that allows IT and the business to
collaboratively model and amend critical business scenarios. Even in the midst of rapidly changing,
fast-paced environments, this solution can deliver complete data warehouse and business
intelligence architectures in 75% less time than the traditional approach.
