2012 WA IT Leaders Summit

The Summit is an “exclusive resort-based getaway” attended
by industry experts, practitioners and solution providers. The
Summit is designed to facilitate maximum learning and business
development, with a minimum time commitment.
This space-limited, exclusive, learning-focused Summit provides
delegates with a powerful opportunity to focus on the key areas
that challenge their businesses, and meet with industry leading
solution providers. Developing robust IT leadership skills is more important than ever.
Successful organisations thrive because of their ability to respond to
change. They understand that they must leverage change to their
advantage and IT leaders recognise that they are no longer simply a
support mechanism to the business — they are the business.
In this new reality, this response is more than a fine-tuning of
existing processes and platforms. It requires a complete and dramatic
rethinking of their approach and organisational infrastructures.
IT professionals need to understand that leadership is about the
facilitation of change. This means that IT must learn how to invent
new ways to ensure value creation is the major outcome of their
effort.
What are the key success factors? How can the technology platform,
coupled with process management, make a difference? What are
the lessons learned and the common opportunities that can help
organisations find their way as they evolve?
The 2012 WA IT Leaders Summit is more than just a conference; it is
an intense learning experience designed especially for IT leaders. This
summit with experts, practitioners and peers will facilitate maximum
learning with a minimum time commitment. This space-limited,
exclusive, learning-focused program will provide you with a powerful
opportunity to focus on the key areas that challenge you in your role.
