Presented By:

Forrester will conduct a series of five, 60-minute teleconferences, one on each day of this week. The goal of this week-long "jam session" is to help you deal with what¿s likely to be tightening IT budgets in your organization.

Who should attend: CIOs, Application Development & Program Management professionals, Business Process & Applications professionals, Enterprise Architecture professionals, Generalist professionals, Information & Knowledge Management professionals, Infrastructure & Operations professionals, Security & Risk professionals, and Sourcing & Vendor Management professionals

Description:

Lean times don't equate to unhealthy times. By adopting lean principles, many IT organizations can come out of a period of economic malaise much healthier than when they entered it. Analysts representing IT leadership, infrastructure, and software development explain what leans means to their part of the organization.

We want to help you get beyond the usual suspects of simply "doing less with less" in tough economic times. Each teleconference takes on a particular topic of interest to multiple IT disciplines, involves a panel discussion of analysts, and provides clients with creative tactics for not just coping but thriving within today's fiscal constraints.
