Executive Summit

Technology and security leaders are under increasing pressure to demonstrate the business value of IT investments and align technology priorities with organizational outcomes. Traditional IT metrics—focused on uptime, budget, and project delivery—often fail to resonate with business leaders or drive informed investment decisions. Outcome-Driven Metrics (ODMs) offer a transformative approach, directly linking technology performance to business value.

Join this session to hear about:

• Moving beyond operational reporting by identifying and building metrics hierarchies that connect technology to business outcomes
• Utilizing ODMs to guide executive conversations and clarify risk, value, and cost trade-off
• Connecting investments in technology readiness to business performance, customer satisfaction, and financial results—enabling proactive risk management and business enablement
