Title: Innovate or perish - the challenge for today's CIO
Abstract: Research is increasingly showing that CEOs recognise that the path to sustaining and enhancing corporate growth lies with innovation rather than cost-cutting. However, their approach to innovation is also changing. Once they looked for silver bullets and miracle cures, especially from IT. Today they are exploring how they can use IT to enhance and enrich existing business processes. The goal is to boost productivity and to grow the top line by enabling their organisations to respond more rapidly to the relentlessly changing business world of today.
In this presentation Peter Hind, the long standing ICT author, journalist and industry analyst, will examine these trends. He will draw on research from a number of sources, including MIS Asia, IDC Asia Pacific and McKinsey's, to highlight that CEOs need a fresh response from their IT departments. The task at hand for CIOs is build on the foundation work they have undertaken in the last few years in the areas of operational efficiency and security. Now Peter will argue there is a need to assess how IT can enhance the key knowledge workers of the organisation. His speech will show trends in Asian IT budgets and technology adoption. He will also highlight how CIOs can free themselves from an operational focus and where IT investments can bring the best returns.
Title: Business IT Management Issue – Security & Identity Management
Abstract: Organizations today are finding themselves in a difficult position. They must enable customers, partners, vendors, suppliers and employees to access various applications and corporate resources that reside across the enterprise.

They must effectively manage and control all user access to their critical corporate IT resources. This presentation provides insights to:
- Managing identities securely and cost effectively
- Achieving key business benefits with a proper IAM solution

Title: Expanding the Innovation Horizon: The Global CEO Study 2006
Abstract: The focus of organisations in Asia and globally is firmly set on sustainable growth. Change and innovation are synonymous and real for all organisations. The Global CEO Study 2006 is a strategy study based on direct consultation with 760 CEOs of the world’s leading companies. The findings represent a collective global voice of the CEO. In the 2004 Global CEO Study, CEOs provided a global view - a turn to growth - highlighting Asia as a key source of both supply and demand. In this 2006 study, as a result of accelerated globalization and technology advances, CEOs report that competition has risen to new heights. Financial markets demand ever-faster growth. And growth – perhaps even survival – depends on innovation.

Title: Empowering Organizational Change with an SOA
Abstract: Whatever the business challenges are in any organization, there are matching IT imperatives. CEOs want to increase the speed of business change, and this requires IT to be more responsive and to quickly adapt to the changing business priorities. To improve business efficiency and performance, IT needs to be tightly aligned with business strategy in a cost effective manner. Business executives are responsible for defining ‘WHAT’ the business strategy is. IT executives are responsible for defining ‘HOW’ to execute that strategy within the existing infrastructure. This presentation will look at how to separate, but align, the ‘WHAT’ with the ‘HOW’. A key element of how IT can align with and support the demands of the business is a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). SOA is a combination of technologies and methodologies that allows organizations to build a cross-enterprise, standards-based infrastructure to empower business to respond quickly with speed to any customer demand, market opportunity or threat.

Woon Tai Hai, KPMG Business Advisory Sdn Bhd
Abstract: For the past few decades, the concept of value chain has been deeply entrenched into all organizations. In many ways, a generation of businesses has been shaped by the thinking around the value chains. Yet, with the rapid paced evolution of business models and the increasing complexity of the value chain structure, organizations realized that there is an urgency to respond to these changes and improve the efficiencies of these value chains. Further compounded by the inability to progressively integrate the various repositories of information which are housed in technology and applications which are increasingly fragmented, this has made it imperative for all executives including business owners to analyze their information value chain (IVC) and determine whether each step of the IVC is "adding value" to its organizations.
This presentation will briefly touch on a number of concepts including the IVC framework (a four quadrant analysis). It will illustrate the relationship between the internal and external components of a value chain and the awareness and responsiveness of a value chain; and why superiority in information velocity is vital, especially across and among the 4 quadrants.
We will also examine the elements of a typical management IVC, another perspective of a value chain analysis including answering the question "How can we measure the value of information provided in the management IVC?" Here we will look at the 3 dimensions of measurement namely quality, timeliness and sufficiency.

Reginald R. Hutchinson, Sun Microsystems Inc
Abstract: Open-source software isn't a new phenomenon. It has been winding its way through the tech
world for decades, starting with Richard Stallman's Free Software movement in the 1980s. But only in recent years have businesses warmed to the promise of low-cost, openly available software. In fact, open-source development have become so popular, it now pose a legitimate threat to the established methods of developing and deploying software systems. The Internet's infrastructure makes the best possible example and proposition for using and deploy open source software systems. Consider DNS, sendmail, the various
open-source TCP/IP stacks and utility suites, and the open-source scripting languages such as Perl that are behind most "live" content on the Web. These are the running gears of the Internet.Looking back, 2006 will likely be viewed as a turning point. It is a year when CIOs signed off on open-source projects, a big change from previous years when that happened only after low-level engineers started such projects on their own initiative. It was a year when venture capitalists woke up to the new business opportunities of open source. It was a year when open source was the word on the lips of not just early adopters but of an early majority. According to a new study by consulting firm Optaros, 87% of organizations are now using open-source software, somewhere.
