The IT Value Assessment Workshop
Presenter: David J. Caruso
IT can be the engine of profitable business performance, yet while most IT shops manage their budgets and outlays effectively, few CIOS can show, or are truly sure of, the value they create for the business. Unfortunately, their CEOs are even less certain they get all they pay for.
David J. Caruso has developed The IT Value Assessment Workshop based on several years' work with Fortune 1000 organizations to analyze the impact IT has on business performance. He performs this analysis by applying a set of rigorous analytical tools and IT benchmarks that merge IT investment and performance data with profit and loss results, identifying the value IT created. It is upon this foundation that this workshop is built: you will discover how to ascertain the value of IT within your own company.
During the workshop, David Caruso will reveal the models that underlie the benchmarks and you'll learn how to analyze your own operations and understand the potential of technologies on your bottom line. Through discussions about the interrelationships and impact of IT budgets, IT organization, application strategy and usage, inventories and turn ratios, employee productivity, cycle times, and strategic planning and IT governance processes, you will come to understand:
- Where to look for and how to value business improvements
- The impact of IT on SG&A, and
- How critical business processes and project management helps or impedes value delivery.
