"Driving
Value from Information: Leading to Competitive Advantage"
Speaker: Jose Ruggero
Buddy: Jose Ruggero
"Providing better information creates competitive value, but does not often create lasting competitive advantage. Competitive advantage results when an enterprise values information and puts it to use in support of a winning business strategy. Enterprise values are outside the CIO’s direct control, so the CIO must influence executives towards competitive advantage via information."

Wireless and its application to business in 2004
Speaker: Geoff Johnson - VP & Research Director, Gartner
Buddy: Sumit Malik - Senior Analyst, Gartner
"Outside some successful vertical applications in field service and field sales, wireless technologies have so far made little impact in the enterprise. Wireless LAN has only been successful in the home market, and public hotspot infrastructure is scarce and inconvenient. The hype tells us that better alternatives such as i-Burst and WiMax are supposedly just around the corner, but what is the CIO supposed to do in the meantime?"

The Internal Services Company (ISCo)
Speaker: Steve Bittinger - Research Director, Gartner
Buddy: Girish Trivedi - Gartner
"Internal service providers are under siege, driven to reduce costs and increase value or face being outsourced. Many are responding by modeling themselves after external service providers: that is, by running themselves as competitive businesses.
The session will address how Internal service providers can improve credibility and largely shape their own destinies by adopting a competitive service delivery model. Areas covered during the session are: An external focus on the customer, with all that implies in terms of identifying customer needs and meeting them with a sound, competency-based service portfolio? The development of business and financial management capabilities? Sensitivity to the behaviors brought on by organizational change and the ability to manage them? Political sophistication"
