| 001 Optional Pre-Conference Workshop: Business Technology Convergence—Measuring Innovation and Growth against the Bottom Line |
In the best-managed enterprises of the future, technology and business management will converge completely. Convergence occurs when business and technology activities are intertwined and the leadership teams operate almost interchangeably. Managing business and technology together, or as we call the discipline, Business Technology Management (BTM), takes a multidisciplinary, structured approach that creates a "whole-brained" enterprise. Convergence provides an organization with the platform to thrive during marketplace changes rather than just react to survive. Through an interactive discussion, this workshop will translate the current buzzwords such as agility, innovation, and adaptability into demonstrable actions that lead to better financial performance and operational efficiency
