Peer-to-Peer Discussion Group (DG) Format:
Sessions are designed for small groups of up to 15 attendees. Attendees hold senior ICT management roles and represent different industry sectors. Vendors and consultants are not allowed to attend. The session opens with an outline of a best practice implementation. This is followed by a facilitated debate of specific challenges participants face in their organizations. DGs enable participants to explore tried and tested techniques and solution options with their peers in an open and informal setting. Small number of participants allows each delegate to actively contribute and learn. 30 min of networking coffee break is included in the session time.

The following are topics identified based on feedback received from our members. Additional topics will be added over the coming months.

Improving ROI and Rapid Delivery of Small Scale Projects within Large Scale Project Environment: Optus Express Solutions

Find out how Optus IT overcame the following issue:

Small scale projects were put through a process that is contextually inappropriate for a project that will typically see completion within 4 weeks. The overheads of heavyweight process and large project teams are not appropriate for smaller projects that require decisive and pragmatic action. Furthermore, and most importantly the time and cost of heavyweight process would essentially drown all small projects. The cost to initiate, design, develop, test and then host a small project would rarely compare favorably to the benefits that the project would bring.

The outcome: The Express Solutions team enables the business to quickly solve small problems that have a big impact upon the efficiency of their teams. The cost vs benefit calculation puts the business in a winning position
