The IT Value Pyramid with Marc Hallquist, Practice Director & CIO Consultant, Virtual Information Executives, LLC

In a recent survey, 86% of US CEOs say technological advances will transform their business over the next five years.  However, less than half felt their internal teams were up to the challenge posed by these changes. While most realize that information systems and technology have huge potential, management structures and staff development are often not aligned toward this vision. This presentation will discuss the three levels of business technology – first as a dial-tone function, then as a lever for productivity, and finally as a driver of profitability – and the different skills, behaviors and organization required at each level.  This is a call to action for business leaders to take the journey necessary to succeed in digital transformation.
