Monday Afternoon Keynotes

Technology is driving dramatic change, and faster than ever. Constant change is the norm and data is the new currency. The Council and TBM are modernizing to support the changes all organizations face. Join us to understand what this means for the global community, our standards, and the Council itself.

Details coming soon.

Tuesday Morning Keynotes

As AI rapidly evolves and companies move from experimentation to production, assessing the potential, cost and viability for the organization, and scaling for impact, requires rich insight. Our experienced panelists will share and discuss critical success factors for AI and how the TBM discipline is becoming crucial to supporting successful AI investment and value management.

Visionary executive teams leverage strong TBM foundations and evolve their practices to support the enterprise in areas like product cost and profitability, sustainability, and shared functions. Join this experienced panel as they discuss their application of TBM to drive next-generation business and mission results beyond the traditional tech arena.

Hot off the presses! Deloitte, the TBM Council’s Ambassador ecosystem partner, will share its new digital transformation research: Which digital domains do high performers target? Which metrics and KPIs do they use? What digital success factors have they mastered? You don’t want to miss this insightful segment!

TBM and FinOps have been critical to the success of many tech organizations seeking to optimize costs, operationalize accountability, and create a value-based mindset. We’ve assembled a panel of leading experts to discuss the intersection of the two disciplines: Where do TBM & FinOps interact? How do their key stakeholders and processes differ, yet intersect to drive material benefits for organizations? If you operate in a hybrid world, you can’t afford to miss this discussion!

Many organizations approach TBM as a box to check—a set of tools, a process to follow—but that isn’t enough. In today’s environment, where agility, cost efficiency, and data-driven decision- making are no longer just nice-to-haves but absolute necessities, a superficial approach won’t cut it. The stakes are too high. The TBM Council’s Ambassador ecosystem partner, Maryville, will walk us through the benefits, tactics, and examples of successful transformation.

Wednesday Morning Keynotes

Apptio, the market leading TBM solution provider and founding underwriter of the TBM Council, will share a sneak peek into the future of TBM, FinOps, ITFM, and Portfolio Management. Discover the upcoming advancements you can leverage to take your capabilities to the next level.

Is your TBM practice designed for success? Is your organization supporting value-based decision making and the cultural change and insight needed to adopt modern technologies and efficient operations? Learn how our distinguished panelists established successful TBM practices, enabling a value-based culture of accountability to predictably deliver valued business outcomes.

Great leadership teams set out to address foundational issues when first adopting TBM, but they don’t stop there. They plot a roadmap and execute it over time, conquering one problematic area after another and creating value along their entire journey. Join our guests as they share intimate details of their journey, both the good and the bad, and its evolution over time (multiple use cases).

IT Financial Management, enabled by TBM, is elevating business value to new heights. CEOs, CDIOs, and boards of directors are reshaping their companies to gain a stronger competitive edge in the marketplace. Tech organizations are revamping themselves, freeing up capital and redirecting funds to business transformation. A modern ITFM function is essential to measuring investment spend and value, and creating a mechanism for achieving target business outcomes.

Executive Strategy Forum Sessions

A look back at 10 years of TBM leadership and community building.

 
Speakers:
  • Eileen Wade, General Manager, TBM Council
  • Tom Murphy, VP IT & CIO, University of Pennsylvania

Innovating through technology is not new. For decades technology leaders have navigated the landscape of delivering competitive innovations that drive business value. CIOs have been known as “Transformational Leaders” and “Change Agents” – and this remains true today. However, what escalated seemingly overnight was the competing need to reconceptualize both employee and customer engagements that deliver anytime, anywhere experiences with minimal risk and a nimbleness rarely seen before. In this session, discussion leaders will share their own experiences and set up table engagements for attendees to answer various questions, including:

  • Is modernization the driving force behind the “Mega CIO”?
  • Is the “Mega CIO” a fit for all strategies?
  • Are executives with line-of-business backgrounds relegating professionals with technology-focused backgrounds to the executive sidelines?
  • If not the CIO, then who else is as uniquely positioned to understand and lead company and product strategy transformations?
Discussion Leader:
  • Les Ottolenghi, EVP & Chief Information and Technology Officer, Stride
  • Greg Douglass, Senior Managing Director, Global Technology Strategy & Advisory, Accenture
  • Rhonda Gass, CIO, Stanley Black & Decker

Public cloud strategies are often embraced for the promise of rapid scalability, on-demand agility, and best-in-class security, resiliency, and features. However, public cloud adoption presents significant financial challenges that, when not addressed, inhibit any firm’s ability to exploit the promises of public cloud. In this session, we’ll hear from leaders who are managing their cloud strategy with both TBM and FinOps, and how they are leveraging the maturity and rigor of TBM to align their organization’s capabilities and requirements. We’ll then break into small groups to discuss both challenges and approaches for building and launching a TBM-for-Cloud journey, including:

  • Defining a TBM-for-Cloud function with FinOps
  • Practices for tailoring FinOps to your organization based on goals and capabilities
  • Establishing company financial constructs and controls
  • Benefits of building a FinOps capability with the oversight and governance of TBM

 

Discussion Leader:
  • Nathan Besh, TBM-for-Cloud Evangelist, TBM Council
  • Melissa Croft, Managing Director, UBS
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in 2021 surpassed the level achieved before the global pandemic, with $5.1 trillion worth of M&A transactions being completed across multiple industries. Success is non-negotiable, so corporate boards look to technology leaders to articulate how a deal will lower costs, mitigate risk, and increase revenue. To achieve this, many leaders have found that TBM is their Rosetta stone for navigating the three key phases of M&A: due diligence, integration, and run/optimize. In this discussion hear from Jack Bischoff, Regional VP of the TBM Council, as he shares use cases gathered from across our membership on the ways global organizations are leveraging TBM to deliver successful M&A processes with transparency, including the ability to:
  • Better identify areas of synergistic opportunity, risk, activity, and expected outcomes
  • Prioritize critical decisions about people, organizational structure, major system consolidation, and standardization
  • Provide the capabilities that determine how the organization is running, where costs are, and how to prioritize and optimize activities that are realized
  • Establish an improvement loop that creates a repeatable M&A playbook

 

Discussion Leaders:
  • Jack Bischof, VP, Europe & Middle East, TBM Council

Delivering business value faster is a primary reason why many organizations are aggressively scaling Agile practices across their enterprise. At the same time these practices can conflict with traditional ways of working including planning, organizational, and funding models. Agile practices risk creating financial blind spots for both product teams who are expected to make decisions faster and with more autonomy than ever before, and their financial peers. In this session, hear from executives who are applying the rigor and guidance of TBM to Agile-at-scale so they can maximize their shift from projects-to-products quickly and transparently. Discussion topics will include:

  • Best practices for gaining company-wide support to make the shift
  • Experiences and challenges maintaining cost transparency alongside Enterprise Agile
  • Identifying and prioritizing opportunities for TBM and Enterprise Agile frameworks (SAFe, Spotify Model, Scrum of Scrums, etc.)
  • Prioritizing Agile-specific financial management solutions for TBM
 
Discussion Leader:
  • Carolyn Gehrke, TBM Product Manager, John Deere
  • Kathy Higgins, VP – Tech Business Management, Lowe’s Companies, Inc.
  • Justin Mann, TBM-for-Agile Evangelist, TBM Council

Financial management of your technology investments is critical, now more than ever in high-paced and increasingly financially constrained markets. Cloud, hybrid, and digital development of products and services is integral to your business. But the decentralized, federated nature of those technological advancements has made it more difficult than ever to get a clear, accurate picture of the total costs of delivering those products and services. Furthermore, once you have an accurate view of those total costs, concerns arise on the best way to understand and communicate how those costs drive value, specifically the profitability of those products. In this session, we would like to hear your thoughts on how you, your peers, and your organization sees the evolution of technology costs and the need to see the profitability of the products that incur those costs informing your future decision-making processes.

Discussion Leader:
  • Eugene Khvostov, SVP, Products, Apptio

To understand what drove the Great Resignation, Humu asked more than 90,000 employees across large, global organizations why they are (or are not) looking for new roles. Their biggest finding? For most would-be quitters, culture matters more than compensation.

Join Laszlo Bock, former CHRO at Google, and now Co-Founder of Humu – a software platform that combines technology and behavioral science to make managers and their teams more effective – as he leads an interactive session on the essential traits that drive high-performing teams and engaged employees, including:

  • The difference between team culture vs. team composition
  • The five top factors that make (or break) team performance and retention
  • How leadership can encourage managers to build a team culture worth sticking around for
