Executive leaders cannot predict the future, but they must build a future-fit organization that can withstand disruption. To do so, they must adopt a deliberate approach to sensing and responding to trends, and understand how trends weave together to impact their strategies. Executives who cannot adequately spot trends are prone to overlook critical inputs to their strategic assumptions and planning. This jeopardizes the digital transformation that organizations have invested in and fought so hard to achieve, while also limiting their ability to capitalize on new market opportunities that disruptions may offer.

In the digital world, the closer the relationship between an enterprise’s business and IT strategies, the greater its chances of achieving its strategic ambition. But good strategy alone does not guarantee success. The strategy must be shared, understood and supported widely across the enterprise. It also must be executed well. However, Gartner research found that only 47% of enterprises successfully meet strategy objectives. To create and execute an effective IT strategy that contributes to the success of the enterprise, CIOs must master the best practices within the IT organization. This complimentary webinar will provide CIOs with a template for and examples of a strategy execution charter that will drive execution success.
