Invitation only: What if budget rounds stopped being a battlefield between business and IT?
Do you recognize the following?
During budget rounds, IT needs a growing share for necessary but non–business-value-creating investments such as legacy-to-cloud migrations, platform modernization, security, and compliance. All this while RUN costs continue to rise, leaving less room for initiatives that directly support growth, customers, and innovation.
This creates tension during the budget cycle because the business becomes increasingly frustrated as perceived value declines while IT-spend keeps growing. At the same time, IT is under pressure and communicates cautiously at a high level, not mentioning when their investments will decrease.
As a result, roadmaps become complex and provide little clarity on when the run costs will start to decrease, and when there will be capacity for business value initiatives. This lack of transparency lowers trust between business, IT and finance, making rational investment decisions very difficult.
During this exclusive round table, we will discuss how CIO’s and business C-levels can restore confidence and transparency. You will get to know how others tackle this, and learn from experts how to:
- Create transparency without drowning stakeholders in technical details
- Build realistic, credible roadmaps that restore trust
- Improve prioritization and investment decisions across business and IT
Do you want stronger alignment and the confidence that your strategic choices, investments and execution are truly paying off?
Ideally join us with both an IT and a business representative!
