115 – IT’s role in helping the business to navigate chaotic change [Nov 2011]
“Change has always been a reality for IT departments, but the world we live in is getting ever more complex, with industries, markets and economies experiencing rapid and often turbulent change. Predicting the future environment in which your business will need to operate gets harder all the time. This creates new challenges that leaders across all types of enterprises must face if they are to remain successful, and IT will be at the heart of solving these challenges. Data is being captured today as never before. It reveals everything from large and systemic patterns—of global markets, workflows, national infrastructures and natural systems—to the location, temperature, security and condition of every item in a global supply chain. How do we enable and manage this data, where do we store it so that we can make it instantly available to any application. How do we leverage this data, intelligently, to enable businesses to navigate the increasingly chaotic world in which we live?”

| Managing Data and Risk Across Your Extended Enterprise by Andy Goodwin of GXS
Management and governance of external business communities is getting harder with every week that passes. Multi-enterprise management of extended master data is no longer a nice to have capability, and keeping your business in the black (whilst keeping it out of the papers for the wrong reasons) is one of this decade’s biggest issues. This presentation will outline some of the ways businesses are dealing with these challenges, the inspiration we can draw from consumer social networks, and the risks or ticking time bombs lurking in your extended enterprise that you may be woefully unaware of. |
