CEOs are looking for agile leadership (we've been here before, remember 2001).
The average budget growth for 2009 will be 0 to 2.3%, the worst case would be -2.5% (because of financial services and the public sector). The reasons why it should not dive: IT must be kept running and multi-years programs can't all be stopped.
The IT market (vendors and providers) will be most affected in Europe (-0.8 to 2.8% growth).
Focus for 2009: cost optimization, virtualization, IT modernization (will represent 30% of all projects by 2010, because of obsolete applications and departing skills), green IT, workforce, SOA & BPM, multi-sourcing.
Top 10 disruptive "technologies" (more on this later during the week). Massive shift will occur in IT (there is a "reinvention" cycle every 10 years).
Top 10 Recommendations:10. Change leadership
9. Mothball business
8. Project prioritization
7. Investment shutdown
6. Leverage offshore
5. Outsource commodity
4. Consolidate
3. Curtail data centre expansion
