Who should attend: CIOs and IT Infrastructure & Operations professionals

Description:

The US economy is weak, with a distinct possibility of a recession that could also impact other markets. While in most industries CIOs do not need to take action yet, they should be prepared in case a recession happens. However, being prepared is not a simple matter of making lists of cuts — more important is how CIOs engage with the CFO and business peers.

Agenda

• Three scenarios for the US economy in 2008, and the impact on different industries
• What the CFO might ask — and how to gain them as an ally
• Collaborating with business peers on the risks and implications of actions to gain short-term savings
• Suggestions for savings that will not hurt the company when the post-recession upturn inevitably comes
