Collaborative Business:
The Big Picture
Earlier this year, many top companies found themselves paying the price of an incomplete business outlook -- their view of The Big Picture was not quite big enough. There were mountains of data to be mined, but extraction of predictive information and development of useful insights in key areas such as customer demand patterns, inventory levels and supply-chain efficiencies had not been done properly, if at all. Information from and about outside factors such as the U.S. economy, global economy, domestic and international political influences was either missed or incorrectly evaluated. As a result, these top companies and many others like them are desperately seeking a more accurate, dependable and comprehensive view of their businesses and of the economic ecosystems in which they operate.
Today more than ever, better visibility into the systems of logistics providers, suppliers, customers, customers' customers and suppliers' suppliers -- and sharing data with these partners -- is crucial, and improvement in the ability to spot and analyze changes as they happen and react quickly and correctly is vital to future success. However, because not all the elements of The Big Picture can be derived from IT-based sources, the InformationWeek Spring Conference will be a multidisciplinary tour de force combining examples of best practices in IT and business management.
This March, join InformationWeek editors, industry luminaries and hundreds of business technology executives to explore the challenges companies face in their quest to gain a multidimensional view of their business and its place in The Big Picture. Learn about technologies and business practices that enable smart companies to transform themselves into truly collaborative enterprises.
