Session #1 - "IT within Sligro Food Group Nederland BV"
Retail and Wholesale is a relative conservative branch of industry. Turn IT around from costs to added value for business is a challenge in its purest form. From reactive to proactive, the business case of IT-continuity, teambuilding and business intelligence are subjects that can make you spiderman in the web of the supply chain. "IT transformation", presented to you in simple analogy with the game of soccer by the CIO of Sligro.
Speaker: Maurice van Veghel, CIO, Sligro Food Group
Session #2 - "In-house IT Service Delivery Destroys Business Value"
Business leaders and IT users of today are more and more capable of sourcing their own IT solutions and services. IT service delivery will create the most value either in the hands of the users themselves (closest to the problem) or with a 3rd party (for scale efficiencies). Facing these brutal facts, LeasePlan Corporation has removed the perceived need for 'business and IT alignment' because when the business is truly in the driver's seat, there is nothing to align.
