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 & Delivery professionals, Business Process professionals, Enterprise Architecture professionals, Generalist professionals, Content & Collaboration professionals, Infrastructure & Operations professionals, Security & Risk professionals, and Sourcing & Vendor Management professionals

Description:

In tight times, IT leaders naturally look to the variable part of their budget for savings. The simple inclination is to find those projects to cancel and those to delay. Our analysts discuss those tactics, as well as creative ways to mitigate risks and justify projects of all types. We also discuss the need to add risks and flexibility to your ROI models.

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.
