Topic:          Technology Business Management

Joel Manfredo introduced the What, Why, and How of TBM by listing Gartner’s 10 Top Trends for 2013, and the critical tech trends for the next 5 years (Slide 3).  The basic question is will IT exist in 5 years time?  The most important things a CIO can do is to understand the business needs, and actively measure business satisfaction.  TBM means running IT as a business within a business.  The TBM Council’s mission is to collaborate, educate, and benchmark.  Joel’s slides are very rich in content and touch on the framework, disciplines and index (Slides 10-16).  The primary driver behind TBM is to free up resources to enable innovation.  The CEO’s hierarchy of IT needs is shown on Slide 18, which also shows the CIO’s innovation sweet spot.  Slide 22 shows the process by which one determines the right level of IT operational spending.  This is followed by several slides on transparency, service pricing, catalog and costing.  The last slide gives more information on the TBM Council.
