The third platform of computing is where cloud, mobile, social and big data/analytics technologies come together. It creates tremendous opportunities for organizations to transform how they innovate and engage with customers; the speed at which they deliver their products and services; and the reliability of their operations. Yet with transformation comes the need to change the ways IT engages with the business and runs its operations. In this workshop, you will work with top analysts from IDC to identify the steps required to successfully transition your organization to the 3rd platform. Using IDC's new Enterprise IT Maturity Model, a decision making framework designed to improve the orchestration between IT and business, you will identify the gaps in your IT organization's maturity and understand the steps your organization needs to take to capitalize on all the opportunities of the new technology era.

Transforming to an enterprise social business platform is a complex undertaking and requires a clear strategic vision, objectives and goals, leadership and stakeholder alignment, and a compelling case for change in order to secure adequate funding and resourcing. It also requires the ability to identify and prioritize business issues and requirements in order to build a holistic, end-to-end implementation road map, leveraging the right mix of social technologies, employee engagement and integration with business processes in order to derive the maximum ROI from social technologies.

• Assess their company’s current state of social readiness and identify gaps
• Develop an end state vision and establish key objectives and goals
  
• Align leadership and key stakeholders
  
• Identify and prioritize business issues and requirements
  
• Build a compelling ROI case for change 

Pre-workshop prerequisite: Participants must complete an online Social Business Transformation Readiness Assessment at least one week prior to the workshop. The link to this assessment will be provided in your workshop confirmation email. You will then receive a personalized assessment overview and readiness score at the onset of the workshop.
