Presented by: Thomas Oestreich<br>
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00 <br>
<br>
The CDO needs to change the understanding and role of data governance - and soon. Growing data complexity, with such things as IOT, algorithmic business and increased regulation, will force a more business-led, business relevant, and ethical information governance
discipline. It's all about increased business value. <br>

Presented by: Gareth Herschel<br>
EDT: 2:00 p.m. | PDT: 11:00 a.m. | GMT: 18:00<br>
<br>
Customer analytics is a high priority for almost every organization, but organizations often get into the rut of thinking customer analytics is about segmentation strategies for acquisition, cross-sell and retention. Although valuable, in limiting their thinking
to these segmentation strategies, organizations are missing opportunities, as some of the most innovative and significant customer experiences are driven by other types of customer analysis. Based on over a hundred different examples of customer analysis,
Gartner identified six different styles of customer analysis that can be relevant to almost every organization. Executives responsible for customer strategy or analysis should learn from thought leaders in multiple industries about other styles of analysis.
And consider how these best practices might be applied to their own organization.

Presented by: Terilyn Palanca<br>
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00 <br>
<br>
Gartner's original prediction that the term "Big Data" would become meaningless by 2020 was actually a bit off - it's largely useless already for differentiating products and solutions in most areas today, and customers are hearing identical terminology with
little meaning or differentiation from most vendors in the space. This webinar will talk about what the term has come to mean today, where it should still be used, and where it should not.

Presented by: Mario Faria<br>
EDT: 12:00 p.m. | PDT: 9:00 a.m. | GMT: 16:00<br>
<br>
Data-driven marketing is still maturing in organizations all over the world. For advertising agencies, that represents a tremendous opportunity to expand their business and to improve loyalty from their customer base. However, data and analytics leaders from
these agencies must take the lead to build new competencies in order to gain business advantage. This webinar discusses how to tailor a data and analytics strategy to support new demands from the market.<br>

</a><br>
Presented by: Alexander Drobik, Michael Maoz<br>
EDT: 9:00 a.m. & 12:00 p.m. | PDT: 6:00 a.m. & 9:00 a.m. | GMT: 13:00 & 16:00<br>
<br>
This Special Report will examine the effect on IT and application strategies for those who assume cloud first and make the flip to cloud computing for business applications. We are seeing a significant shift from owning and running business application software
to consuming and using business application services. Many organizations and vendors are making an assumption that cloud will be their first choice for applications. This is a flip of expectations and priorities into the cloud model, and many companies will
require a reorientation of IT strategies for delivering business application capabilities. The Special Report will predict the move of business applications to the cloud (all types), what "tipping point" may exist, and what organization types would be impacted.

EDT: 10:00 a.m. & 1:00 p.m. | GMT: 14:00 & 17:00<br>
<br>
Strategic planning is at the heart of any enterprise, and alignment with the corporate strategic plan is often a key concern of CIOs. There is a science to developing an IT strategy, and there is an art. This session explores the art of strategic planning,
helping attendees articulate IT's contribution to business success. <br>

Presented by: Daryl Plummer<br>
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00 <br>
<br>
Today's cloud strategy is a hybrid one. Enterprises are increasingly forced to confront multiple services from multiple providers leading to a vast need for cloud governance and brokered intermediation.

Presented by: Andy Kyte<br>
EDT: 9:00 a.m. | PDT: 6:00 a.m. | GMT: 13:00 <br>
<br>
Application rationalization remains a key initiative for many of CIOs. However, the way in which they need to address rationalization has changed quite dramatically. Solution models that might have worked four to five years ago are really no longer the answer.
Instead, the best (the only?) way forward is to adopt bimodal IT. Bimodal will enable businesses to transition from bloated application portfolios toward a lower-cost and more agile state without the high risks associated with "big bang" replacement of major
parts of their portfolios. <br>

Presented by: Rick Greenwald and Kurt Schlegel<br>
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00 <br>
<br>
One of the most pressing decisions facing midmarket IT leaders is whether they need to build a data warehouse. Midsize organizations have heard the horror stories about how hard and costly it can be to build a data warehouse. And then there is no guarantee
it will be successfully adopted by users. Most midsize organizations struggle to find the resources and skills needed to successfully complete their BI and analytic projects, yet, midmarket IT leaders know that it is tough to run a business without a sound
data foundation. This webinar examines how midsize organizations are tackling this decision.

Presented by: Tuong Nguyen<br>
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00 <br>
<br>
Augmented reality (AR) is a digital filter and user interface for the physical world. Its impact as an interface technology means it will transcend vertical applications. It will transform and extend the way employees and consumers interact with companies and
brands. This webinar defines augmented reality, how it's positioned on the immersive scale, the current climate for immersive tech and examples of promising horizontal applications that are disrupting business. We also discuss how businesses should approach
this disruptive tool. <br>

<a href="http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3408419?srcId=1-6323281745" target="_blank">The Quest for Business Value From IoT</a><br>
Presented by: Chet Geschickter<br>
EDT: 1:00 p.m. | PDT: 10:00 a.m. | GMT: 17:00 <br>
<br>
There is a lot of promise in the Internet of Things (IoT) as a means to create business value, but there is also a lot of hype. In fact, a recent Gartner survey found that unclear business benefits is the top barrier to IoT efforts overall. In addition, since
IoT is not a singular technology per se, but rather a general wave of technology, the opportunities to create value can vary considerably across industries, as well as between functional areas within an organization. Clearly, there is a pressing need for an
overarching business benefits framework that planners can use to identify where and how IoT can deliver business value, and to define and organize IoT initiatives.
<br>
<br>
To help those planning or considering IoT initiatives, Gartner's IoT benefits framework covers both internal objectives such as operational efficiency improvements, and external objectives like generating revenues. It can also be used to imagine the art of
the possible for IoT, and to develop the business case for IoT. CIOs, IT leaders, business leaders with technology responsibilities in end-user organizations will find this webinar valuable for planning IoT initiatives. Technology and service providers interested
in building more targeted IoT value propositions will benefit as well. <br>

Presented by: Perry Carpenter<br>
EDT: 10:00 a.m. & 1:00 p.m. | PDT: 7:00 a.m. & 10:00 a.m. | GMT: 14:00 & 17:00<br>
<br>
On its own, security awareness can be ineffective in helping organizations instill the desired/needed values and behaviors. Employees need to be more than just 'aware' - they need them to possess certain value frameworks, critical thinking skills and behaviors
that are in-line with the organizations security policies. In this webinar we outline the idea of proactive "security Culture management" - an approach that contains aspects of security awareness, behavioral training/conditioning, marketing/messaging, systems
of reinforcement, technology based guardrails, and more. <br>

Presented by: Ed Thompsony<br>
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00 <br>
<br>
This webinar is designed for those midsize organizations embarking on customer relationship management (CRM) projects. It is aimed at CRM project or program managers but is also useful for sponsors and those in IT who support the sales, marketing and customer
service departments. Midmarket IT leaders need to understand a CRM project from eight different perspectives: the vision, strategy, customer experience, organizational change, processes, data and information, technology and metrics.

EDT: 2:00 p.m. | PDT: 11:00 a.m. | GMT: 18:00<br>
<br>
Today, the top drivers for business transformation are: delivering a great customer experience, becoming a digital business and meeting constantly changing regulatory requirements. These are strategic investments, yet 70% of business transformations fail to
deliver the desired outcomes. Why are business transformations so difficult and what causes so many well-run organizations to miss their desired outcomes? We share our research on five key aspects to get right and thereby dramatically increase your chance
of success. <br>

<br>
Moving IT services to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud providers profoundly affects the roles and responsibilities of IT. IT Infrastructure Professionals (ITIPs) and managers must think

<br>
The commercial drone market is expanding now with the release of FAA regulations in June of 2016. Drones combine the benefits of mobility and robotics to create a versatile platform for remote sensing, delivery, data communications and other functions. The
market is still establishing itself, and new vendors are offering new products and services at an accelerated pace while established drone vendors attempt to leverage their expertise in personal and military markets. Although the market is new and frenetic
what benefits and risks do commercial drones pose for business? <br>

</a><br>
Presented by: Audrey Apfel<br>
<br>
IT organizations with PPM leaders who deliver 90%-plus rates of success on the initiatives they support begin by separating strategic enterprise outcomes from projects. They approve and fund the former before they design the latter. By doing so, they create
clear priorities that guide effective decision making all the way through execution, and avoid the waste that goes with investments in trivial projects.
