Attend and get The Power of Convergence

Linking Business Strategies and Technology Decisions to Create Sustainable Success

The Power of Convergence makes the case – and lays the groundwork – for a new understanding of the role of technology in business. “No technology should be developed or deployed without a full vision of how it advances business goals, addresses customer needs, or both,” asserts author Faisal Hoque. “Beyond that, technology should be so tightly intertwined with strategy that the two drive each other, with each at the ready when market opportunity materializes - however suddenly.”

With compelling examples of successes and failures at organizations, from Ford Motor Company to the FBI, The Power of Convergence provides the framework and mechanisms for uniting business and technology, seeding horizontal collaborations and partnering opportunities, and capturing strategic possibilities created through convergence.
