The End of Data Governance As We Know It
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3305320?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Thomas Oestreich
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00

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.

The Six Styles of Customer Analytics
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3408418?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Gareth Herschel
EDT: 2:00 p.m. | PDT: 11:00 a.m. | GMT: 18:00

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.

What Big Data Means Today and How to Position Effectively
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/%20%20%203408417?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Terilyn Palanca
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00

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.

*Thursday, September 8, 2016*
Your Future Office: Traditional or Cloud? Microsoft? Google?
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/%20%20%203393717?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Michael Silver
EDT: 10:00 a.m. & 1:00 p.m. | PDT: 7:00 a.m. & 10:00 a.m. | GMT: 14:00 &
17:00

Cloud-based office products are benefiting from a huge amount of hype. In
this webinar, we explore the benefits of cloud-based office systems and
where traditional systems may make more sense.

How Advertising Agencies Should Manage Data & Analytics Programs
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/%20%20%203391517?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Mario Faria
EDT: 12:00 p.m. | PDT: 9:00 a.m. | GMT: 16:00

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.

Adapting Your IT Strategy for a Cloud-Dominated Business Application
Environment <http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3410417?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Alexander Drobik, Michael Maoz
EDT: 9:00 a.m. & 12:00 p.m. | PDT: 6:00 a.m. & 9:00 a.m. | GMT: 13:00 &
16:00

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.

Take Advantage of Enterprise Digital Business Opportunities
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3391617?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Julian Poulter
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00

Digital business within enterprises is a huge opportunity for application
technology providers, but their business-unit leaders need to update many
aspects of their business and business models to take advantage of them.
This webinar explains the trends and challenges and how to overcome them.

The Art of the 1-Page Strategy
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3203818?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Heather Colella
EDT: 10:00 a.m. & 1:00 p.m. | GMT: 14:00 & 17:00

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.

Cloud Governance is a Brokered and Hybrid Strategy
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3410418?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Daryl Plummer
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00

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.

*Thursday, September 15, 2016*
Bimodal IT Is the Best Way to Deliver Application Rationalization
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3404517?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Andy Kyte
EDT: 9:00 a.m. | PDT: 6:00 a.m. | GMT: 13:00

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.

Do Midsize Organizations Need a Data Warehouse?
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3306423?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Rick Greenwald and Kurt Schlegel
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00

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.

Augmented Reality: Enabling Digital Business With an Immersive Interface
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3391618?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Tuong Nguyen
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00

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.

The Quest for Business Value From IoT
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3408419?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Chet Geschickter
EDT: 1:00 p.m. | PDT: 10:00 a.m. | GMT: 17:00

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.

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.

*Thursday, September 22, 2016*
Move Beyond 'Awareness' to Security Culture Management
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3391518?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Perry Carpenter
EDT: 10:00 a.m. & 1:00 p.m. | PDT: 7:00 a.m. & 10:00 a.m. | GMT: 14:00 &
17:00

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.

15 Years of Best Practices From the Eight Building Blocks of CRM
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3288930?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Ed Thompsony
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00

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.

An Integrated Approach to Strengthening Your Supply Chain
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3391519?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Virginia Howard
EDT: 12:00 p.m. | PDT: 9:00 a.m. | GMT: 16:00

Digital disruption and the weakening global economy have made profitable
growth more challenging than ever. Yet, some CSCOs are able to respond
predictably and flexibly, defying this volatility, by balancing investments
in continuous improvement and sustainable innovation.

Business Transformation: Keys to Success
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3391520?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Janelle B. Hill
EDT: 2:00 p.m. | PDT: 11:00 a.m. | GMT: 18:00

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.

Adapting to the Cloud: Career Strategies for IT Infrastructure Professionals
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3408420?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Joseph Antelmi
EDT: 9:00 a.m. & 12:00 p.m. | PDT: 6:00 a.m. & 9:00 a.m. | GMT: 13:00 &
16:00

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 about their roles, hone new
skills and build a strategy for staying relevant in the forthcoming IT
landscape.

How Will Commercial Drones Change Your Business?
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3391619?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Gerald Van Hoy, Brady Wang
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00

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?

<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3379821?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Elise Olding

Neuroscience is destroying century-old concepts of how executives and
managers need to lead and communicate. By understanding emerging research
about how the brain works, leaders will more effectively shape employee
engagement, creativity and motivation into positive business results,
paving the way for a new generation of "brain-aware" enterprises.

The 90% Club: Winning the Game Before the Team Takes the Field
<http://www.gartner.com/webinar/3379822?srcId=1-6323281745>
Presented by: Audrey Apfel

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.
