It was a great pleasure to attend the Aged and Community Services (NSW & ACT) IT forum recently and I was delighted to be invited to speak.
Presentation Overview
My topic was “Managing a Portfolio of IT Investments” and was based on the work of Professor Peter Weill.
Investing in IT is a challenging endeavor and this presentation points out a number of key consideration to look for. Additionally, I explore a several techniques to move IT budgeting from a tactical chore to a strategic lever that have served me well over the years.
The presentation slide deck is made available for viewing to assist all Organisations in maximising the collective understanding of the integral relationship between a strong IT budget process and Organisational strategic success.

Investing in digital transformation initiatives allows companies to streamline processes, reduce costs, and create new revenue streams.
Cloud Migration: By moving applications and infrastructure to the cloud, businesses can achieve greater flexibility and agility in managing their IT portfolio. This shift allows for more efficient resource allocation, as cloud services can be scaled up or down based on demand, reducing unnecessary costs associated with maintaining underutilized on-premises infrastructure.
