What will The Enterprise of the Future be like? What will your business look like in five years, or even ten? While we don't have a crystal ball to provide all the answers, The IBM Global CEO Study sheds light on what the future may hold.
Through interviews with 1,130 business and public sector leaders worldwide in 45 countries, the IBM Global CEO Study provides new and compelling perspectives on strategic issues such as global integration, new and changing customer groups, and business model innovation — facing organizations of all sizes.
Only those organizations that understand and prepare to address the new realities of the integrated market will be able to harvest its full potential.

Enabling Flexible and Efficient Payments Operations
C. CLAYTON POWELL, JR., Global Banking Industry Sales Leader for IBM’s Software Group Industry Solutions Sales organization, IBM

As the financial services industry goes through major and unprecedented shifts, institutions are finding themselves under pressure to cut costs quickly, merge, and simplify their operations. The Payments business has historically been a logical target for simplification and cost reduction with highly manual processes, a lack of process flexibility, and duplication of work effort. IBM's Payments Framework for Financial Services offers an industry-specific software foundation for deploying Payments solutions to help you start transforming your operations, one project at time. Based on IBM's Smart SOATM foundation, the framework can help you create a more agile Payments operation, increase flexiblity, and reduce cost."

Shared services in the Public Sector,

Chris Gibbs, Global Industry Leader , Social Services & Social Securitys

Governments around the world are poised to benefit from adoption of a shared services business framework provided that lessons learned from the commercial sector are applied. Shared services frameworks bring together functions that are common to multiple business units under a single delivery organization. The result: increased efficiency and quality of service and decreased cost.

Mr Chris Gibbon, IBM Global Shared Services leader, will discuss the wide adoption of a shared services model in the public sector, lessons learned and analysis of previous public and private sector case studies.

Government 2020 and the Perpetual Collaboration Mandate,

Sietze Dijkstra, GBS Global Industry Leader Government

Six inescapable forces are simultaneously now underway, over which governments and societies have limited control. Because of their virulent and simultaneous nature, they are described as drivers. Unquestionably governments must respond in a more comprehensive manner than ever before. In developing tailored responses, a new
dimension of greatly enhanced collaboration is the ultimate capability governments need, as it will form the foundation of strategies necessary for coping with these drivers. More connectedness and cooperation is needed than ever before: across agencies, across societies, across governments, and with more constituencies.

Mr. Sietze Dijkstra, IBM Global Public Sector Leader, will discuss these six drivers and present the approach for government action to achieve this intensified, multilayered, multidirectional capability that we call perpetual collaboration.

Knowledge Management in the Public Sector,

Ian Lyttle, Associate Partner, IBM Global Business Services

Many public sector entities across the globe are becoming increasingly aware of the business value inherent in their tacit and explicit knowledge and have taken major steps to leverage their knowledge for the benefit of their governments and their constituents. Typical examples of this include leveraging the knowledge already within the organisation to generate value add services to the public or to improve administrative efficiencies.

Dr. Ian Lyttle, IBM Global Business Services Knowledge & Collaboration Leader for UK and North East Europe, will discuss how governments can unleash their knowledge potential to bring additional value to their organisations and their citizens.
