Return on Investment: Tools and Techniques for Justifying IT Projects

Tom Llewellyn, Broadway Bank, and

John Dickson, CISSP, Denim Group

One of the most talked about and abused concepts in IT project management is Return on Investment (ROI).  Gartner writes about it, business unit managers demand it, and CIO’s struggle to quantify it.  Putting together a credible ROI story that will withstand the scrutiny of the CFO and CEO remains a challenge.  Tom Llewellyn and John Dickson will provide background on conventional ROI measures, share war stories, and lead a discussion with attending CIO’s to better understand ROI tools work within their organizations.  Feel free to bring your CFO!

Tom Llewellyn is the CIO of Broadway National Bank and is asked by Broadway’s management team to develop ROI justification for major IT projects.  John, as a vendor, has authored or help authored numerous ROI studies that help quantify success criteria for IT projects.
