60% of companies in a recent AIG Consulting poll were found to suffer from marginally successful technology projects or outright project failures.

A full half of this number experienced project ‘runaways' which take too long to deliver, consume too much budget, or under-deliver on functionality.

The Get IT together seminar is designed specifically to address the problems that lead to IT project failure.

How? By helping organizations to optimize their software systems and IT departments to better deliver business results.

Attendees can expect to learn:

• How to align IT department objectives with your overall business goals
• How to better streamline the application development process 
• How to more effectively deliver IT projects
• How to get your business applications working together
• How to ensure your current goals answer future business needs

If you are a CEO, CIO or IT manager these issues should already be sounding alarm bells in your head.

How toTurn a Business Liability into an Asset

I thought this clip was an excellent example of true business innovation - a struggling fast-food franchise on one of the busiest commuter routes in the US turns a liability (bus loads of customers who arrive all at once) into an asset. How? By ensuring fast delivery of goods and by correctly identifying the business audience and ensuring they get the best services.

Fast food doesn't exactly have a good name these days. But this is an example of how brand perceptions can be turned around by superior productivity and by clearing a path towards identifying and fulfilling real business opportunities.

In the IT world it's no different. Speed, productivity, identifying and achieving business goals are key. Better get the tools to make it happen.
