Agenda
Strategic planning is at the heart of every enterprise, and CIOs are often concerned with “aligning” information and technology activities with the business strategy. Companies that are leaders in digital business do not distinguish between “business” and “IT” – there is one story for business success and that is the business story. In this session attendees will:
- Engage in the thought process behind the art of a one-page strategy
- Critique real-life 1-page strategies
- Learn the techniques for developing a one-page strategy and have the opportunity to develop your own one-pager.

Speakers
As a Research Vice President for Gartner’s Office of the CIO, Heather Colella works hard to make the difficult easy when helping CIOs improve their contribution to business results. As the creator of The Art of the One-Page Strategy she is passionate about strategy, effective communications and Gartner clients’ personal success.
Ms. Colella’s motto is “Your Success Is My Joy,” because she feels rewarded when clients achieve new levels of success using Gartner services. Ms. Colella’s experience has been invested as a management consultant, developing information technology strategies, architectures and plans for major corporations. She has been a CEO of her own management consulting firm, was a Managing Director with KPMG/BearingPoint, a Senior Manager with KPMG/Nolan, Norton & Co., and a Consultant with both Gemini Consulting and IBM. Prior to joining Gartner, she was a Director at Fossil Partners and was responsible for three user-facing global organizations: PMO, service desk, and relationship managers who served as liaisons between the business areas within Fossil and IT.
Ms. Colella covers issues, not technologies. She is often asked to help CIOs improve the effectiveness of their IT organizations when it comes to strategy and effective communications. She helps CIOs and other executives prepare for executive presentations, including presentations to the board. She deals with the art of communicating, not the application of technology to communications.
