In a Web 2.0 world, executive branding has become even more important and a valuable tool for IT executives. In this presentation, William shares with you the process for unearthing and expressing your brand and illustrates how executive brand building increases corporate brand value.

Networks for Midsize Businesses: Smart, Virtual, and Always-On

Emerging technologies present new opportunities for midsized businesses, but there are risks as well. Meanwhile, the vendor landscape has transformed radically. Leading this change requires foresight; merely reacting is not enough. This presentation will address:•How will the demands on midsize enterprise networks change in the coming years? •What are the key strategies for meeting new requirements? •What are the most critical emerging technologies? Speaker: David Willis, Gartner

Speaker: Mark Perry, Ganntthead Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is the management of prioritized projects, programs, and portfolios within an organization. In essence, project portfolio management is the bridge between projects and business. While the concepts of project portfolio management as a knowledge standard are easy to grasp and relatively straight forward, the actual implementation of project portfolio management within an organization is not and and it is not a one-shoe-fits-all-sizes proposition. This presentation provides a business-driven approach to project portfolio management that features a short case example followed by a lit and discussion of the top ten risks that threaten the successful implementation and adoption of project portfolio management.
