Achieving Agility Through a New Approach to Forecasting | 2009-03-12 | Microsoft |
| If there is anything to be learned from today's turbulent economy, it is that the business world will not be predictable for a long timeÃÂif ever. Indeed, the words "stable" and "predictable" seem as old-fashioned today as penny candy. It is similarly outmoded to believe that companies can continue using traditional budgeting and planning processes and not miss unseen opportunities or fall victim to unnoticed threats.
Companies today can no longer roll their eyes and complain about static budgets and the resource-consuming process of generating them. Those firms that survive and even thrive in the global recession will be able to link their spending plans with their strategic plans and quickly make midcourse corrections based on accurate, real-time input.

How IT Governance Drives Improved Performance | 2009-02-25 | ITPI |
| This research project was funded by the generous support of CA, the world's largest independent IT management software company. This paper identifies IT governance practices that predict top levels of performance. However, IT organizations should weigh this study among other sources of guidance when considering IT governance initiatives. For many years, IT organizations could succeed by focusing on technology. However, business expectations for IT are rising. The vast majority of business processes are enabled by computers, and organizations have no fallback paper processes. IT-enabled products and services have become a competitive differentiator in almost every industry. As a result, the business-oriented CIO is taking charge.

Avaya Strategic Communications Consulting | 2009-02-01 | Avaya |
| In the successful business, executive vision is just the starting point. In order to be realized, a vision must first have a corresponding strategy, and then that strategy must be tightly linked to day-to-day operation of the business. For the technology management organization, the critical alignment with business strategy typically takes the form of ensuring that the firm's communication and computing assets are being leveraged to maximum advantage. A recent study found that companies that achieved this type of leverage realized an average ROI of 140% when their technology investments were tightly linked to the needs of key stakeholders such as the lines of business that are responsible for the firm's products and services, and the sales and support teams that interact with external customers. | |||

Wealth Management and the Retail Strategy - An APAC Perspective | 2009-01-15 | Infosys Technologies |
| A recent book "The Middle-Class Millionaire" by authors Russ Alan Prince and Lewis Schiff talks about a new class of Americans called the "Working rich". The book defines middle-class millionaires as those with net worth between $1 million and $10 million, including their primary residences. This paper goes on to establish that this segment of customers is already sizable and growing at above-average rates. In addition, banks make above average margins from these customers compared to a typical retail customer. It is therefore required of retail banks to carefully align their retail banking strategies to take into account the needs of these wealthy individuals.
