TELECOM:
Doing Business with the Telco of the Future"
Speaker:
Kobita Desai
There
are three hygiene factors that have helped mobile phones become ubiquitous:
ubiquity, usability and utility. With the transition from voice- to data-centric
applications, operators must now add a fourth "U" or hygiene factor:
uniqueness - the ability for applications and services to adapt to and treat
each user as an individual. The future consumer will be a multichannel consumer.
Mobile operators and related organizations with wireless channels to consumers
will be key partners for organizations doing business in the "always-on"
society. |

TELECOM:
Networking
the Real Time Enterprise
Speaker:
Geoff Johnson
As e-business
transformation continues to take hold and the pressures for real time operations
increase, enterprises are becoming increasingly dependent on their networks
- to the point that the network becomes the backbone of the business itself.
This session offers a pragmatic view of what you need to do to keep your
organization a step ahead of the financial and technological network demands
it faces. We review the role of converging voice, video, storage and data
networks to understand how to build true multi-service networks. |

EXP: Creating Top IS Leadership Teams
CIOs everywhere know they have little choice except to improve their leadership
skills and get more from their senior leadership team. But that's not easy.
High-performance teams are far more productive than their more average counterparts.
But distilling the secrets of success and putting them into practice is
not as easy as it sounds. The session is set to answer the question: How
can CIOs get high performance from their senior leadership teams?
Some of the areas that will be touched are:
- What are the needs that impact Senior management team performance
- When you form a team, how does psychology play a role in getting the team
working:
- What are the different types of competencies are needed at senior management
level.
- How do you address the emotional intelligence as a part of leadership.
- How do you adapt your leadership style to the needs of the team. |
