Masterclasses

In 2011, you have a choice of two masterclasses led by world-class facilitators:

MASTERCLASS ONE: Generating Business Value with Information Technology (9.00am-5.00pm)

Dr Joe Peppard, Professor of Information Systems, CRANFIELD SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT

With their information technology (IT) investments, most organizations focus on the implementation of technology not on the realization of expected business benefits. Consequently, benefits are not forthcoming despite projects being considered a technical success. This failure to realize benefits is primarily due to methods and tools that emphasize improving the supply-side of IT delivery, including the use of outsourcing. No IT investment is ever just about technology. Drawing on over 15 years of research that has studied how organizations improve the return on the investment they make in IT, this workshop will present an approach together with a toolkit which enables managers to identify, plan for and manage the delivery of benefits. This approach implies new ways of working between IT professionals and business managers that complement the best practices in delivering IT solutions, but that engage business managers in a way that enables them to apply their collective knowledge to creating business value from IT-enabled change. This approach is now being utilized by organisations, both public and private, worldwide.

Preparation for workshop

1. In order to prepare for the workshop, participants would be asked to read the 3 page case study The IT System That Couldn’t Deliver (provided in advance) and consider the following two questions:

Who is responsible for assuring IT success at Lenox? Why?

How would you advise them to proceed?

Be prepared to comment on the case in general and the issues that it raises and these questions during the day.

2. In order to “practice” using some of the tools introduced during the workshop, participants are asked to “bring along” an IT project/programme. This should be a relatively recent or currently ongoing project. Review the business case: What does it contain? What was/is the investment seeking to achieve? What organisational and people issues were/are encountered? Were the benefits delivered/expected to be delivered?

Masterclass Two: The CIO as A Strategist (9.00am-5.00pm)

(Limited to 25 participants)

Dr Peter Wilton, Senior Lecturer, HAAS SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY

Recent findings from the business literature have revealed a major challenge to today’s successful organisations: the ability to anticipate, and prepare for, continuous and disruptive market change.

While many organisations have been created, and indeed prospered, around a key successful business idea, often this success has ultimately encumbered the organisation, and made it difficult to adjust to changing market realities.

As a result, the established successful organisation may face significant challenges to continued market dominance. Key themes that will be explored by Dr. Peter Wilton during this fast moving and highly interactive Masterclass include:

International Keynote: The Leadership Challenges of the CIO (Keynote)

Over the years, the role of the CIO has evolved. Many CEOs now expect their CIOs not just to specify and manage the IT infrastructure and deliver efficient IT services, but also to drive the innovation and transformation agenda. Yet many are struggling with this agenda. Dr. Peppard will address the reasons for this and suggest practical prescriptions for CIOs to be effective in what has been referred to as the ‘new normal’.
The session will:
• Examine the ambiguous role of the CIO and its consequences
• Highlight the specific leadership challenges faced by the CIO that are not encountered elsewhere in the C-Suite
• Present a model linking the CIO role with organisational performance
• Consider the factors contributing to CIO and, ultimately, IT success
• Explore the changing nature of the CIO-business conversation
• Recommend how CIOs can improve their credibility as leaders, strategic decision-makers and architects of change.

International Keynote: Enterprise 2.0: How the Cloud, Web 2.0 and Consumerisation are Converging to Reshape Enterprise IT (Keynote)

Hear how Dell and the world’s leading enterprises are embracing cloud computing and Web 2.0 technologies to reshape IT strategies, redefine services and drive enterprise efficiency. Andy Lark, an expert in Web 2.0 technologies and trends, and Dell’s CMO, Public & Large Enterprise, will speak on key trends, best practices and case studies.
Key discussion points include:
• Enterprises will need to adopt evolutionary and revolutionary paths to cloud computing
• Consumerisation will challenge IT’s traditional role as a gatekeeper and securer of information. CIOs will need to adopt new approaches to embrace user demands and external forces such as Web 2.0 and social media
• The rise of information consumers will accelerate the adoption of new computing form factors such as connected tablets and small screen devices
• IT economics will be redefined by hyperscale computing models and challenged by a shift of resources from ‘running the business’ to innovation.

Andy Lark, VP & General Manager, Large Enterprise Marketing

12.00

International Keynote: CIO Options for IT Delivery (Keynote)

The CIO has options for IT delivery; on premise, outsourced or cloud services. With the rise in complexity and variety of cloud-based services, the CIO has more choice in the business and cost model from which they run their IT infrastructure. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia is one of the leaders in Australasia when it comes to the exploration of enterprise-wide on-demand services. Principles of efficiency and machine arbitrage are behind its decision to investigate hosted service models. The session will address:
• Changes in business demand which challenge traditional IT methodologies
• Interpreting services as a mindset or economic strategy rather than a technology
• Culture alignment in vendor selection and management
• Standards: the key to success?

The CIO’s Role in Governance: Is it Time for the CIO to Step Up?

There is a general lack of understanding at the board level of technology and the CIO. This is exacerbated by the fact that many CIOs still report to the CFO instead of to the CEO or directly to the board. This can often lead to a large hole in IT governance therefore a lack of a cohesive IT strategy.
• Mind the governance gap: why do so many CIOs get IT governance so wrong so often?
• The role of standards such as ISO38500 in ensuring good corporate governance in IT
• Why do CIOs almost never move into directorships and what can be done about it?

Myles Ward, Group Manager IT Operations & Services, INLAND REVENUE DEPARTMENT
Alison Holt, Director, LONGITUDE 174

The Changing Nature of Innovation Delivery, and the CIO’s Role in Driving Business Growth

To be competitive, it is now no longer sufficient for the CIO to deliver creative technological solutions to the business. Innovation needs to be considered, thoughtful, and adopted at the right time and speed for your organisation. The nature of innovation delivery is changing, and the CIO’s role needs to change with it.
• Driving executive engagement in innovation-led decision making
• Key competencies critical for the CIO to deliver business value
• Linking the CIO role with organisational performance.

Big Pipes: Making the most of Ethernet

Ethernet services are rapidly replacing legacy services to support the growing business impact of WANS and business networks. This session highlights the global trends for Ethernet business services adoption and the factors important for CIOs when considering the business needs of the network, its reliability, security and robustness.
Hear Nan Chen discuss:
• Why enterprises are opting for Layer 2 Ethernet Business Services
• The opportunities to centralise IT resources and run new applications such as cloud computing and data applications
• How the right backbone can improve network integrity and redundancy to facilitate business continuity.

Nan Chen, CEO, METRO ETHERNET FORUM

4.15

Navigating The Fluid Notion of Privacy in Service Provision

Governments today are looking to department CIOs to steer development of online, integrated services to citizens. Agencies (and potentially private providers) will therefore need to do more sharing of citizens’ personal information rubbing up against privacy concerns. How should the CIO navigate this notion, understood differently by New Zealanders from different generations, locations or ethnic backgrounds?
• What are the issues surrounding the sharing of information and data in public service provision?
• How should the CIO navigate changing perceptions of privacy, and expectations of access to services?
• How can the CIO meet diverse privacy expectations in a time of online service expansion and inter-agency data sharing?

Dr. Miriam Lips, Professor of E-Government

Taking IT Security to the Executive Team

IT security is still seen predominately as a CIO issue.
However is your biggest concern your firewall configurations or your CEO’s laptop? Shouldn’t the security of their customer’s information and finances be not just the responsibility of IT, but of the whole company - starting with the Executive team? This session talks about the real risks all organisations face these days, and how the solutions are a balance of technology and organisational awareness and behaviour.

International Keynote: The Chimpanzee, the Jellyfish and the Canary: the Future Roles of the CIO

The successful CIO captures trends and customer needs in advance, and is able to deal effectively and positively with disruptive changes. With the rise of social media however, these tasks are increasingly taken care of without the direct involvement of the CIO. In this session,Claus Mortensen from IDC will discuss how social media and social analytics can help increase the business relevance of the CIO role, and how the CIO can become the ‘futurist’ of your company.
• The rise and rise of social media: how can the CIO facilitate and exploit the beast
• How the CIO can help capture the ‘social capital’ of the company, its partners and its customers
• How and where to start spotting trends globally, locally, and within your own organisation.

Claus Mortensen, Principal, Emerging Technology Research Practice Group

11.30

Prepare for the Inevitable: CIOs and the Consumerisation of IT

With employees starting to tap into the potential that mobile devices, smartphones and tablets can provide, the demands on the CIO to accurately govern and manage this will increase exponentially. The line between what constitutes a personal and a business device is not as clear as it was. Campbell will discuss:
• What are the drivers of mobility and how can they be harnessed for organisational benefit?
• What are the risks and opportunities of a Bring-Your-Own-Device mentality?
• The challenges of the consumerisation of IT
• Policy directions on enterprise risk and data usage – what’s the best fit for your organisation.

The Power of Vision: Achieving Transformation through Technology

Seemingly impossible tasks can be achieved once you align your skills, technological resources, personnel and business focus. In this presentation, Tim Carroll explains how Village Roadshow Ltd created business success after the VRL CEO, Graham W. Burke, set an audacious goal of dramatically improving the financial performance of an already successful business model for their Warner Bros Theme Park business. Tim will demonstrate how he led a team in leveraging innovative technology and completely reengineering their go-to-market strategy to achieve the stunning results of increasing ticketing sales, increasing consumer awareness and earnings growth from $30m to $84m.

Arc Innovations’ IT systems performance during the Canterbury earthquakes

Arc Innovations’ systems managed to maintain an almost uninterrupted service throughout the 2 recent earthquakes in Canterbury, this was due to a recent investment in our DR systems and practices. However, not everything went to plan and we have learnt some valuable lessons. Additionally Arc captures incredible volumes of data but had seen very little value for all of this data, but through the disaster Arc has discovered new uses for the data that it holds and will extend the services that Arc offers to incl! ude these new uses.
• Never underestimate the importance of a DR plan and practice to ensure business continuity in the event of a disaster
• Access to your data is more important than you imagine
• DR plans need to cover more than just the servers

CIO Leaders Panel: CIO 2020: The Present, the Future and the Age of Disruptive Change (Panel)

The CIO’s role is becoming increasingly complex. Not only are they expected to lead innovation efforts and enable technology, in many cases they are expected to achieve this in a cost-constrained environment, doing more with less, and delivering top level information strategies.
• How can the CIO manage the tension of cost containment versus innovation?
• Will the CIO take a leadership role in non-traditional areas, such as sales, marketing and supply chain?
• Continuing the growth of the IT industry in the community
• With CIOs becoming increasingly time-poor, how will we see them manage their time and work-life balance?
