For the past 6 - 8 months, the economic environment has been unusually volatile. This trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future and the outlook for 2009 remains uncertain which is posing unprecedented leadership challenges for business and IT executives alike. Cutting cost is not the only answer to these challenges. Our September meeting will feature an insightful presentation and discussion about the impact and the outlook of the current trends on different industries and market segments. A panel of seasoned executives from the financial, pharmaceutical, publishing, staffing and consulting services industries as well as from academia will provide an update on how they cope with the current challenges and will talk about the actions they have taken to stay ahead of the game. Strategies and examples for finding cost-reduction opportunities, for justifying new IT investments, opportunities for innovation, and the key challenges for 2009 will be discussed. The impact and outlook upon hiring, staffing, outsourcing, and curriculum development will be examined. We expect a lively discussion, and participants will be asked to contribute with their own examples. Everyone should come away from the meeting with new ideas and with actionable take-aways that can be applied to your daily situation and to the preparation of 2009 operational plans. Our panelists include:
- Robert V. Brown, Vice President, Worldwide Technology, Pfizer Inc.
- Joe Galarneau, CTO, Thomas Publishing
- Clarice Kennedy, CEO, CCN Inc.
- Dr. Art Langer, Chair, Instructional and Curricular Development, Columbia University, Continuing Education
- Bill Mitchell, Director and Global COO, Deutsche Bank Asset management
