Track A Description: Transforming Business Models For Global Competitiveness
Led by: Navi Radjou, Vice President, Forrester Research
As global competition, demanding customers, and stringent government regulations add pressure to companies, the latter must continually adapt and reinvent their business models to survive in today's global economy. The rise of India and China complicate things by creating new opportunities and challenges for Western firms. Old-and-tried business models that continue to rely on US-centric, vertically integrated R&D and marketing capabilities will ultimately drown in the deep end. This track will show how firms can transform their global business models — by deconstructing and reconstructing them — to deliver customer-valued innovations worldwide, network with global supply sources, and anticipate as well as respond to market shifts.
Session 1
3:15-4:15 p.m. — Business Model Transformation: Who Can Help And How?
Christine Ferrusi Ross, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research
Most firms will not transform their business models alone — they'll turn to consultants and service providers for help. But clients must be careful to select the right provider for the
job — a particular challenge if the client is truly innovating and "the job" isn't clearly defined. This session will help clients
select the best partners for business transformation.
Session 2
4:15-5:15 p.m. — Transforming Business Models To Succeed In China: Best Practices From The High-Tech Industry
Simon Yates, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research
Joe Hogan, Vice President, HP Services, Managed Services Marketing, Strategy and Alliances, Hewlett-Packard
Yibing Wu, Chief Strategy Officer, Lenovo Group Limited
Western firms across industries are scrambling to establish or expand their presence in the fast-growing Chinese economy. But the move into China — and other emerging markets like Brazil, Russia, and India — is a path fraught with roadblocks, as many high-tech firms have learned. This session will discuss the strategies and best practices that firms like IBM, Microsoft, Dell, HP, and Intel implemented to establish and grow their presence in China and other emerging markets. Attendees across industries will learn how to establish business roots in emerging nations, build relationships with local partners and governments, and develop marketing messages and sales channels tailored to these new markets.

Track C Description: Technology Architecture
Led by: Laura Koetzle, Vice President, Research Director, Forrester Research
To support firms' global business transformation, IT must create coordinated IT domains, secure its IT infrastructure and business data, and provide new interaction channels for employees and customers worldwide. Find out how business process owners, IT architects, CIOs, and tech
vendors are rising to this challenge.
Session 1
IT Architecture For Business Transformation: Digital Business Architecture
Randy Heffner, Vice President, Forrester Research
Organizations can increase their responsiveness to business change, lower the cost of change, and establish a stronger technology foundation for business transformation by specifying processes and policies digitally and by restructuring and integrating IT to run the business dynamically based on these digital business specifications. When business specifications are digital, IT applications and infrastructure can directly act on changes to them, and many business changes become a matter of editing business specifications rather than building complex IT solutions. Forrester's research on digital business architecture (DBA) lays out an evolutionary vision for the IT architecture necessary to deliver continuous business transformation. This session will describe DBA, evaluate the industry's readiness for it, discuss case studies, and outline what you should do now to move to DBA.
Session 2
Where Does Security Fit?
Paul Stamp, Analyst, Forrester Research
A few years ago, security was an afterthought — the red-headed stepchild of the IT department. Much has changed in the past few years, though. Security is a central part of most IT strategies, and chief security officers now get deeply involved in areas like operations, compliance management and risk management. The question now is where does information security fit within a company — technically, functionally, and organizationally?

This session will identify the CIO leadership attributes and practices that can help IT drive business transformation initiatives from "table stakes" projects like aggressive cost-cutting to true business-model and culture change. This session will address the following questions:
- How can leadership by IT create differentiating performance models and customer experience?
- How do CIOs balance competing issues and options driving transformational changes while satisfying basic needs?
- What worked and what didn't in Avaya's own technology-based transformations? What lessons were learned?

How Application Performance Drives Business Performance: Grow Your Business, Not Your Infrastructure
Business performance demands strong Web application performance. Yet today, poorly performing applications remain a major problem that hampers enterprise growth, especially as businesses look to interact with far-reaching customers, partners, suppliers, and employees. Solutions to date have lacked critical elements such as speed, scalability, reliability, security, ease-of-use, and application time-to-market. This session will address how to resolve these challenges through the use of an on-demand, distributed approach and feature an enterprise case study from global talent management vendor BrassRing. When "killer" applications run across the Web, don't let them end up killing your business.

Aligning The WAN With Emerging Global Business Needs: The Teradyne Case
Teradyne is headquartered in the US, but its design and production capacity is growing rapidly in the Asia Pacific region. The company's principal network consultant will describe the process employed to migrate Teradyne's mission-critical applications traffic from frame relay onto a global MPLS-based IP network, doubling the effective bandwidth and significantly reducing the overall cost. The business case for this network migration required a rigorous return on investment (ROI) hurdle on data traffic alone, and a formal RFP process was required to ensure competitive pricing. This presentation will also highlight the influence that the restructuring and consolidation among global carriers had on Teradyne's selection of a global IP network service provider. The question-and-answer session will be moderated by Stephen Bloom, Vice President, Business Development, NTT America.

Transforming Marketing To Serve Global Customers
Jim Nail, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research
James A. Euchner, Vice President of Advanced Concepts & Technology and Chief e-Business Officer, Pitney Bowes Inc.
Dave Banerjee, Founder and Strategist, Banerjee & Partners
The 3.3 billion consumers in BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) nations have totally different needs, aspirations, and values than the 300 million US consumers. In this session, marketing execs will learn how to recast the four P's of marketing — product, price, place, and promotion — to win the hearts and wallets of billions of emerging market consumers. Key questions to be addressed:
- What new techniques are required to gain insight into the needs and motivations of consumers in different cultures?
- How do you decide whether to adapt an existing Western product, buy a local brand, or start an entirely new brand?
- What alternatives exist in countries where there is a fragmented, underdeveloped distribution system?
- What media, communications, and promotional strategies are most effective?
- How do you package and price products to appeal to consumers in these markets?
Session 4
Transforming R&D To Deliver Customer-Valued Innovations

Theodore Forbath, Chief Strategist and Practice Leader, Global Product Strategy and Architecture Practice, Wipro Technologies
James A. Euchner, Vice President of Advanced Concepts & Technology and Chief e-Business Officer, Pitney Bowes Inc.
As US firms look to serve markets beyond US borders and source ideas across national boundaries, they are ditching the rigid, US-centered, do-it-all-yourself innovation approach in favor of a collaborative, partnership-based approach that matches global innovation demand with worldwide supply. Rather than hoarding their intellectual property (IP), these forward-thinking firms share and expand their IP — redefining IP as intellectual partnering — to create value for all stakeholders. This session will show how firms can harness creative input from customers and partners worldwide, manage R&D efforts internationally, anticipate and respond to global innovation demand, and maximize their intellectual assets' value.

The advent of globalization coincides with new technologies that enable ubiquitous computing. What does this mean for a global business? The ability to control suppliers, employees, assets, and products — independent of location and time zone. Connecting your global physical assets and employees to the digital world depends on a host of technologies like emerging wireless networks, RFID, sensors, and mobile computing. This session will highlight technology trends in these areas and identify how leaders are garnering better control of global operations with them.
Session 4
The Future Of The Information Workplace
Erica Rugullies, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research
Today's information worker relies on a disjointed combination of office productivity, content, collaboration, and portal technologies. The information workplace of the future will be much richer than what exists today and will support a diverse range of activities via contextual, role-based delivery of voice, documents, rich media, process models, business intelligence, eLearning, and collaboration tools via multiple devices. It will be available not just to traditional knowledge workers but also to people who work with people and people who work with the physical world. We will discuss the business requirements that are driving the information workplace forward and the evolution of information workplace technology solutions. It will include new data from a recent Forrester survey about the information workplace.
