That’s why the focus of PPM efforts is shifting from a traditional approach that lacks flexibility to one that can adapt to changing strategies and can create maximum business value for minimum cost, quickly. The fact that business decisions are made amid a large number of unknowns and growing uncertainty, and at an accelerated pace, has created a new reality that PPM leaders cannot afford to ignore. Gartner’s PPM IT Governance Summit explores this next era of PPM, characterized by new roles, tools and approaches, to help you anticipate portfolio fluctuations and adapt your programs with a view to reducing risk. Security Risk Management Events In an era when data breaches and IT security incidents are the new norm, IT risk and information security have been increasingly recognized as business issues rather than just technical ones. Today an organization must weave IT security and risk management into the executive levels of business planning. But given the rise of new trends and technologies, from cloud and mobile devices to social networking, security and risk leaders must balance efficiency and effectiveness with true business value. Gartner’s security and risk management events offer methods, models and best practices to help create security and risk management programs that are proactive, transparent, risk-based and process-oriented.

Sourcing Vendor Relationships Events In today’s economic climate, reducing costs while making the right sourcing choices is a tricky balance every organization must master to achieve the desired benefits. What’s needed is the ability to create vendor relationships that address near-term cost objectives, but also allow for longer-term scalability, enhancements and innovation. But the road ahead is increasingly complex and fraught with rapid change. Ever-growing provider options have radically transformed the way business and IT services are being designed, sold and consumed. Gartner’s sourcing and vendor management events deliver targeted guidance to key outsourcing and vendor management roles within your organization. Our hot-topic content addresses a range of critical issues, from managing a complex multisourced environment to ensuring your vendors deliver value in a changing business environment. Now more than ever, the supply chain is being impacted by forces difficult to predict, from the state of the global economy to disruptive natural events. Change is constant. As the global supply chain is tasked to find growth in new markets, supply chain executives will need to respond to challenges from new competitors while learning to leverage new technologies. Designed to help master these realities, the Gartner Supply Chain Executive Conferences provide field-tested research and analysis required for success in today’s complex business environment, and deliver actionable advice — from strategy and planning to distribution and logistics — for every executive on the supply chain leadership team.
