services that can be combined to meet the unique needs of service providers
now evolving their service delivery infrastructure to support expanded

Academic Working Sessions of International Federation for
Information Processing Scheduled May 8-11 in Atlanta

In a keynote presentation next Tuesday before the conference of
the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP),
Gartner Fellows Daryl Plummer and David McCoy will analyze the latest
technologies and processes that leading enterprises are embracing to
identify and respond to changing competitive and market forces. These steps include:

Sensing - Is the organization able to monitor and detect
significant changes in its business environment?

Strategizing - Is the organization able to develop alternative
potential plans and directives to respond to the change?

Deciding - Can the organization determine which of many
alternative plans is the most effective and commit to those
directives?

Communicating - Does the organization consistently and
comprehensively ensure the proper notification and
understanding of key directives to all relevant personnel
internal and external to the enterprise?

Acting - Does the organization produce results efficiently
that respond to business change and meet market demands
effectively?

IFIP was founded in 1960.
