Information Technology Planning for Executives

How to create organizational value from IT decisions

When the chief executive is involved in IT decisions, the quality of the service provided to the consumer is enhanced. How can this be you ask?

This happens because these chief executives brought a different perspective to making investments in IT. Vertex Systems provides you same perspective with this sixty-minute presentation.  

Chief executives focus on achieving strategic goals. They want to know how investments will help them achieve the organization's mission. They think of IT as a tool to increase organizational performance; not as something they do not understand that should be delegated to someone that understands computers.

As an example, agencies have been forced to move from attendance based billing to monthly authorizations for each service. This makes it increasingly difficult to bill all services with the same number of staff. If all services are not billed, consumers are deprived of the very service they need to improve the quality of their life. Worse, the agency does not receive the funding dollars or has increased overhead expense. In today’s era of reduced funding and budget cuts this makes the problem worse. There has to be a better way.

As Albert Einstein said, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." This webinar provides you insight into what is needed – a different way of thinking to solve the problem - a different perspective.

We believe that good ideas are ignited through imagination; organizational value is created through good management. This webinar provides the foundation for making good management decisions for IT. Click on the Register Now button to sign up for the next webinar.

Information technology is complicated for those that have to write and implement software. However, IT does not have to be complicated for executive leaders. Information technology is useful insofar as it helps your agency provide more value for no increase in cost. Each software product has good points and bad points. Buyers tend to focus on asking about features and price. Instead focus on how a vendor and product is going to help you achieve your strategic goals and mission and be successful with their product. That is exactly what this webinar will help you do.

Attending this webinar will help you understand and identify the business value required from an IT investment request. You will then be able to define the value the agency will receive as a result. Your Board will then understand why they should approve your request for information technology.

Comments from past attendees or people using our approach:

"The approach you shared makes perfect sense. I now see the value of documenting a strong business case. No wonder my Board did not approved my earlier IT recommendations! I will be asking for Vertex's help so we get approval next time. "

-Executive Director, NY agency serving 225


 "Your help was invaluable. My Board just approved the IT project request that was five times more than the phase one part of this same request I submitted eight months ago! I did not understand the power of being able to communicate a strong business case for justification. I will recommend you to other agencies."
