How
to Value Information Technology
Information technology has many success stories. However, there
have also been far too many failures. The reason is that the effect
of information technology on a company's shareholder value has been
unpredictable. Lacking a method to analyze the value of IT, Executives
are forced to make decisions based on fragmented data and guesswork.
Now, iValue makes it possible to get a clear picture of the impact IT is having
on shareholder value.
How to Value
Information Technology, a three day executive seminar, can help
you answer these questions:
• What contribution
will a system make to a company's shareholder value?
• How
can an IT system be constructed to create value?
• How
do you value infrastructure, portals, Internet initiatives, CRM,
and legacy systems?
• How
to get the most from your technology spend?
• What
will be the likely reaction from Wall Street?

Develop a critical skill. You will learn how to use VITA™, a structured process to estimate the shareholder value generated
from IT systems.

The
Portfolio Strategy Approach to IT Valuation
Nearly
half of corporate capital expenditures are invested in information
technology. Yet, many executives struggle with managing the value
delivered from their IT investments. They lack a comprehensive method
to understand the value generated from IT investments as a whole,
that deals with the wide variation of risk and reward. Now, iValue makes it possible to manage the value of your portfolio of IT assets.
The Portfolio
Strategy Approach to IT Investment, a three-day executive level
seminar, can help you answer these questions:
• Do you
have a process to evaluate your total investment in IT?
• Can you
identify the stars from the dogs in your IT portfolio?
• Have
you developed a buy, hold, and sell strategy for your IT investments?
• Do
you know what your IT options are and when to act on them?
• Do you
know how to hedge your bets?

IT
Risk Assessment and Management
The
IT Risk Assessment and Management course will train you to maximize
the probability a system will be an economic success. Specifically,
you will learn how to:
• Identify the components of system risk
• Measure their effect on shareholder value
• Estimate their likelihood of occurrence
• Control and mitigate their potential impact
Attendees will acquire the skill to assess the risk of an economic
loss from an IT system, as well as learn ways to act to reduce the
risk to an acceptable level. You can now focus on what matters most:
creating shareholder value, not struggling to sort out what went
wrong. Smart money assesses and manages risk rather than fixing
problems after the fact!
