From technology spend to business performance: Why governance - not cost cutting - is the real unlock

As technology investments accelerate - from cloud to AI - many organizations struggle to connect spend with outcomes, align decision‑making across IT, finance and the business, and ensure governance enables speed rather than slows it down. Drawing on the latest IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) research, this keynote explores how leading organizations are rethinking technology governance to create transparency, prioritize the right investments, and continuously steer technology toward business value.

Three take aways from this session:

  • Realizing value at scale. Turning transparency into better decisions.
  • Fixing alignment between IT, finance, and business leaders. Building a shared, outcome‑focused view of technology value.
  • Governance as performance capability. Steering technology investments for speed, trust, and value.
