Value Studio 13:
Architecting for Success: IT & the Shape of 21st Century Performance
November 12-13, 2008
Jacksonville, FL
William Jennings Bryan was famous for saying, “Destiny is not a matter of chance – it is a matter of choice.” In 2008 executives have a choice to make/a question to answer – what parts of the IT success blueprint of the past 20 years do we retain and what pieces do we re-think, re-tune and re-invent?
We are just now emerging from a twenty year period of unprecedented corporate success. Between 1987 and 2007, the Footsie 100 [British Stock Exchange Index] rose three times while the S&P 500 saw a seven-fold run up. Market capitalization of the top 100 companies in the world [measured in constant dollars] tripled between 1995 and 2005. The shape of global institutions and related technology architectures made sense for the world we have just left.
Juan Enriquez, author of As the Future Catches You cautions executives who would stand pat and change nothing that while “companies on the Fortune 500 in 1935 could expect to remain on the list for 90 years, companies on the Fortune 500 today remain an average of only 15.” The managing partner of McKinsey’s United Kingdom and Irish operation concurs noting that ‘the topple rate’ [companies falling out of the highest revenue quintile] increased three fold since the early 1970s.
Join a group of high impact peers as they discuss their thought processes regarding how they should architect their organizations for high performance in the years to come.
