IT leaders are continuously and increasingly looking for ways to demonstrate value to the C-suite and boards of directors. Too often, IT is still reporting on the number of broken things and how efficiently they were fixed. At the same time, business leaders too often abdicate their responsibilities and allow or even force IT to make decisions in a vacuum, including those about changes that could fundamentally shift how business gets done.

In this presentation, recognized industry authority Roy Atkinson will walk through ways to minimize the missed messages by measuring and reporting in a common language about the things that matter to the organization, using data from current research.
