Patrice D.

As a professional with a dual role, I am deeply immersed in both the governance of information systems and operational processes, as well as the management of strategic operational and technological transformation projects. My expertise lies in steering complex IT departments through the challenging terrain of ever-increasing demands in critical areas such as Data Management, Cybersecurity, and Customer Relations, all while navigating the constraints of maintaining or even reducing budgets.

Recognizing the immense pressures our CIO community faces during the demanding task of budget construction, I spearheaded a workshop dedicated to this crucial subject. The workshop aimed to provide valuable insights and practical strategies to help CIOs effectively manage their financial resources.

Patrice brings a wealth of experience, having served as a former CIO for major corporations and as a former Vice President at Gartner. Key highlights of his knowledge will include:

1. Justifying and Measuring the Value Provided by the IT Department: Techniques to effectively demonstrate the IT department's contributions and justify its necessity and impact to stakeholders.
2. Creating a Clear Budget: Strategies for developing a transparent and comprehensible IT budget that aligns with organizational goals and constraints.
