Profitability or Growth – Why Choose?

Investors and boards are demanding that you both increase profits AND growth. In the face of headwinds such as inflation, increasing costs of goods and transportation, supply chain issues, difficulties in obtaining capital, geopolitical conflicts, and cybersecurity threats, and talent shortage how can you deliver? By finding the best allocation of limited resources— strategically, financially, operationally—you can turn these challenges into opportunities to fuel innovation and outpace your competitors.

And we’ll show you how. Join us for an intimate gathering of IT and business leaders for lunch at Barrafina, Coal Drops Yard, Kings Cross. Network and engage with fellow IT and business leaders to share critical strategies such as:

  • How viewing mission-critical, transaction systems like ERP as a utility can help you reduce total operating costs, re-allocate resources to growth, and fund innovation.
  • Preventing vendor-dictated cloud models from wasting organisation resources and interfering with an optimised IT portfolio resource allocation strategy.
  • Why you need a more strategic and forward-thinking approach to IT investment focused on potential financial return instead of cost alone.
  • Tactics other organisations are using to retain leverage and agility with large software vendors.
  • Ways to transform IT from a cost centre into a profit centre that supports increased profitability, accelerated growth, and competitive differentiation.
