June 22 – Achieving Outcomes – Anchoring a Digital Transformation on Value and the Critical Role of Transparency

8am PDT | 11am EDT | 4pm GMT | 5pm CET

Most technology transformations have a similar set of priorities and initiatives, but nearly all (>95%) settle for dilution of value. Successful transformations are oriented around outcome metrics vs. the more common orientation around input metrics (i.e. number of Agile teams or workloads in the cloud) or output metrics (i.e. speed of releasing a functionality). By breaking barriers and focusing the entire organization on value creation outcome-oriented transformations deliver greater business value and have a higher net promoter score (NPS). Fully-loaded product- or initiative-level cost transparency is a critical ingredient in this journey.

Join us in this TBM Tuesday as Vishy Padmanabhan, Partner & VP at Bain & Company, shares compelling research and perspectives on how TBM and cost transparency helps organizations create value and achieve business outcomes.

April 27 – Finance of the Future: Enabling the Modern IT Operating Model at Wells Fargo

8am PDT | 11am EDT | 4pm GMT | 5pm CET

The way CIOs and CTOs create value in today’s enterprises is undoubtedly changing. Modern technologies paired with agile ways of working provide opportunities to accelerate new business capabilities while improving quality and cost. Finance teams must adapt.

They’ll talk about how they are redefining portfolio planning, forecasting, and cloud migration with TBM, showing examples of the new approaches they’re putting in place.
