Keynotes

Guest Keynote

The Agility Advantage: Un-Think. Re-Think. Out-ThinkThe Agility Advantage is the capacity to greet change with more than a sense of resignation. It is a mindset and filter that enables a powerful response to change, an embracing of flexible models of thought and a freedom in the work we do, and how to deal with the day to day issues we face. In this keynote presentation, you will learn how to access a greater flexibility in thinking; the tools and strategies needed to move from problem paralysis to solution focus; how to change the game by altering the frame we view our world through; how to learn to think in questions rather than statements; why ideas in themselves are powerless without a strategy for engagement and implementation and why mindset is critical for leaders looking to thrive in an environment of increasing expectations and unprecedented change.

Gartner Keynotes

Gartner Opening Keynote: Top Impacts of Digital Business on Infrastructure & Operations Strategic I&O planners have long realized that efficient planning must be accomplished by looking from the outside in. Digital business is changing technology, market and organizational trends. This presentation will highlight the most crucial implications over a 2016-2018 time frame.

Gartner Closing Keynote: The Top Ten Takeaways — Your Action Plan for 2016/2017 Join the leading global analysts, moderated by Michael Warrilow, as we distil the two days of content into the “must address” actionable top ten issues highlighted during the Summit. This session will help you prioritize your objectives as you look to put into practice much of what you heard.

6 Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Data Center Summit 2016

A NEW! Strategy and Leadership: Building the ValueDigital business is forcing I&O leaders to re-examine their role, as well as the other roles within the organization. Fundamental changes to leadership, IT value and service, IT fi nancial management and cross-functional management capabilities will be required to remain relevant and effective. This track helps I&O leaders to maximize the contributions of every individual in the organization — including themselves!

HOT TOPICS: Leadership, Vision, Trends

B People and Process: Improving and Maintaining Service DeliveryIT operations management often works “behind the curtain” in many IT organizations, ensuring that infrastructure components are operational, business applications remain available and users are satisfi ed. However, an evolution of current IT operations is required to meet the needs of digital business. This track helps service delivery leaders explore new ways of evaluating and investing in all major aspects of operational capability and capacity. This includes management technology, sourcing, organizational structure and process improvement.

HOT TOPICS: Automation, Skills Gap, DevOps, Multisourcing

C Infrastructure: Creating and Sustaining AgilityNo longer can I&O tell the business to wait in line for support on new business initiatives or take 12 months or more to deliver on them. Today, business units will respond by simply bypassing I&O. Changes in I&O’s approach, culture and mindset are therefore critical to remain relevant. This track helps infrastructure teams and technology architects to optimize their data center and cloud infrastructure strategies (including hybrid). It will help them evolve to become a timely and valued strategic partner to the business in meeting the needs of customers and citizens.

HOT TOPICS: Cloud, Hyperconvergence, Modernization, Infrastructure

D Digital Workplace: Optimizing the End-User ExperienceMobile and endpoint computing continue on paths of accelerated change, transforming the way organizations operate and compete, and forcing IT mobile and endpoint computing leaders to re-architect their strategies. This will ensure that employees remain productive and are able to adapt to rapid changes in their working environments. This track helps workspace strategists and endpoint teams adapt their approach to end-user computing, refi ne their roadmap for future endpoint computing investments and align those plans with digital workplace initiatives.

HOT TOPICS: Mobility, Windows, End-User Computing
