To remain competitive in today`s turbulent global marketplace, enterprises must be capable of making quick, effective adjustments. This requires learning how to evolve into an adaptive organisation -- one that works to align IT capabilities, costs and goals with those of the business.
METAmorphosis Africa 2004 conference, META Group`s 15th annual forum, to be held from 4 to 6 May at Caesars Gauteng, will sort through the implications of this important trend. Based on META Group`s practical research, strict objectivity and personalised service, METAmorphosis 2004 is a true symposium that will provide practical guidance about how an organisation can become more adaptive.
To avoid getting "condemned" through failure to establish flexible financial models that provide strong support in any economic environment, companies must evolve to become adaptive organisations - aligning IT capabilities, costs and goals with those of the business.
Peter Riches, managing director for META Group South Africa, says: "Organisations should not be deterred by this challenge, the long-term benefits to companies that begin renovations now will ensure they gain critical agility, and have a greater command of their IT resources. Such organisations will become better positioned to quickly - and proactively - meet constantly changing business demands."
Jean-Louis Previdi, Senior Vice-President and Research Director EMEA and Luis Leamus, Senior Vice-President, International joint keynote presentation will examine how organisations will need to absorb the impact of evolving technologies (eg, Web services), government and industry regulation, and a rapidly changing IT provider market, organisations must learn and apply key adaptive principles that lead to success.
Companies will learn how to:
* Focus on the adaptive organisation vision and trends that every CEO must understand.
* Learn why it`s critical to be an adaptive organisation now, and gaining a road map to being adaptive.
* Understand how and why IT must get "its house in order" to drive the adaptive organisation.
