Strategic Business Alignment – The best way to ensure that the goals of your project, and ultimately those of the organization, are met at the end of production is to make sure they are aligned from the beginning.   This will require an ability to effectively lead diverse teams, communicate with stakeholders, and gain buy-in and agreement throughout the life of the project.  This track will offer sessions based on real life experiences and case studies where true business alignment was achieved resulting in a successful outcome for all parties involved.
