3:30 pm - 4:30 pm   24 March 2003 
Harris, Kathy   

Enterprises are rapidly adopting KM -- nearly 100 percent report they have at least one initiative in place or underway. But while the CEO, CFO and other management intuitively understand the value of KM, they demand a strong business case. For most enterprises, the business case is still elusive. This presentation explores the economics of KM (the cost, benefits and overall business value) and identifies techniques, including Gartner's Total Value of Opportunity (TVO), that can enhance your visibility into the business case for KM.

  • Where, how much and when will you invest in KM?
  • How, where and when will benefits and value accrue for KM?
  • What is the total cost of ownership (TCO) of KM?
  • What are techniques for measuring the overall business value of KM?

Value on Investment: A Strategic View of the TVO of IT
(23C)
11:30 am - 12:30 pm   25 March 2003 
Harris, Kathy   

Enterprises intuitively know that IT investments return many forms of tangible, intangible and synergistic value. Despite a deep appreciation of the value of IT, most enterprises do not have robust frameworks to clearly explore or evaluate the full range of IT benefits. Gartner has developed two analytical tools to assist enterprises in strategizing, assessing and measuring the value on investments in IT: VOI, which provides a strategic view of the forms and processes by which value is created; and TVO, which provides measurement processes and metrics for assessing the risk/reward of IT investments.

  • How and when will enterprises achieve value from investments in IT?
  • What current and emerging forms of value will be created by IT investments?
  • How will enterprises leverage VOI and TVO concepts to define and assess the full impact of investments in IT?
