4 Keynotes Dan Heath New York Times Best-Selling Author; Co-Author of Decisive, Switch, Made to Stick ; Senior Fellow, Duke University s CASE Center Bryson Koehler Executive and CIO, The Weather Company Tom Koulopoulos Author, Consultant and Commentator Guest keynotes Being Decisive Dan Heath Our decisions are disrupted by an array of biases and irrationalities. Unfortunately, merely being aware of these shortcomings doesn t fix the problem anymore than knowing that we are nearsighted helps us to see. The real question is: How can we do better? Dan Heath introduces a four-step process designed to counteract these biases. He shares fascinating stories, from a rock star s ingenious decision-making trick, to a CEO s career-ending acquisition, to a single question that can often resolve thorny personal decisions. The Weather Channel: Digital Revolution Enabling Business Transformation Bryson Koehler The Weather Channel represents just 50% of The Weather Company, which is in the midst of transforming into a nextgeneration big technology company. We have a new focus being a leader in big data, says CIO Bryson Koehler. Koehler discusses how IT is enabling the cultural and organizational revolution behind The Weather Channel s rapid revenue growth, including the relaunch of the TV network, new mobile apps, a big switch from Microsoft to Google apps, and the move to a cloud-based weather forecasting system. Reimagining the Role and Value of IT Tom Koulopoulos Today s CIOs are orchestrators of a vast set of services that often span a complex network of providers and partners. This network has become the backbone of innovation, strategy and new business models. Yet, the ubiquitous and invisible nature of technology is also why the business does not often appreciate the value of IT. Learn how to deal with the uncertainty and opportunity of tomorrow s IT-driven businesses, how to take an analytical view of methodologies for building smart sourcing partnerships, and why the role played by data-driven sourcing strategies is so crucial. 4 Gartner Sourcing & Strategic Vendor Relationships Summit 2014

5 Gartner keynotes Linda R. Cohen Managing Adapting Sourcing for a Digital Future Linda R. Cohen, Helen Huntley, Cathy Tornbohm Sourcing executives must achieve an important balance between delivering an existing portfolio of day-to-day operations (core services) and applying innovation to drive digital business enabled by technology. To date, sourcing has been largely focused on executing an efficiency-based (cost-driven) sourcing portfolio to run the core. However, there is significant pressure to exploit new digital business opportunities, in which future sourcing objectives are driven by speed and innovation. We provide pragmatic advice on running the core while adapting sourcing for a digital future. Helen Huntley and Conference Chair Exploiting BPO and ITO Synergies to Support the Digital Business Era Cathy Tornbohm In many organizations, IT outsourcing (ITO) and business process outsourcing (BPO) are treated as separate initiatives with different decision makers. Many organizations begin their outsourcing journey with ITO and follow with BPO. So, the ideal combination of ITO and BPO is rarely achieved. We examine technology s role in business process modernization and identify how to combine ITO with BPO to embrace the opportunities afforded by the digital era. Cathy Tornbohm This is a great opportunity to network with your peers, interact with vendors, and most importantly take advantage of one-on-one sessions with Gartner specialists/consultants.
