Gartner Business Intelligence & Information Management Summit 2012 (9:00 am - 9:00 am)
Making strategic or fact based decisions using an organisation’s information continues to be inspirational for many. In the last few years we’ve all struggled with the overwhelming volumes of data or information we have available to us when making decisions. How can we move the pendulum from the use of information to intelligence being inherent in our systems and processes?
Many still struggle with foundational business intelligence and performance management, while others believe that analytics is the thing that will save their organisation.
Organisations are looking for agility rather than big bang BI projects and need to adopt a balanced approach to prioritise business needs with their BI and PM strategy.
The Gartner Business Intelligence and Information Management Summit will provide you with the knowledge you need move your BI program towards analytic excellence and transform decision making in your organisation.

What are the characteristics of a successful digital agency? It might be a company that offers all or a selection of UX, web design, mobile app development, content marketing and branded content, SEO and social media integration.

Accelerate Your Business Through Partnerships And Joint Ventures (8:30 am - 4:30 pm)
Accelerate your Business through Partnerships and Joint Ventures
Size matters. Grow your business.
Is your growth strategy realistic or just wishful thinking? Most entrepreneurs and companies do not have a plan to grow their business, and therefore miss out on significant opportunities.
Funding growth organically is a slow process. Approaching a growth strategy on your own, without partnering or leveraging through large organisations, is a sure fire way to remain small. Strategic partnerships accelerate growth. Fast.
AIMIA and VentureOne is proud to bring you this timely workshop to help fuel your growth plans for 2012. We are delighted to work with experienced entrepreneur and investor, Matt Costello, who is the Director of the Digital Practice at Newport Capital. This one-day workshop, held in Sydney on February 28, will give you practical advice as well as templates and the framework to grow your business through partnerships and investment.
Registrations are now open, but as we are limiting numbers to ensure that you get the most of out the day, make sure you book NOW.
For more information and to REGISTER please visit the AIMIA website.

Readify Dev Day (QLD): Estimating And Prioritising A Product Backlog (9:00 am - 5:00 pm)
A critical part of any agile approach is being able to guide the team in what they need to do by providing them with a prioritised list of work that needs to be completed. And when priorities themselves are influenced by how large a piece of work is, how does a team working in an agile manner move away from traditional time based estimating approaches to size based approaches and improve their ability to estimate whilst taking less time to do it?
This Readify Dev Day will provide attendees with not only the theory but also the practical hands-on experience in doing just this.
