Networks for Competitive Advantage: People, Partners & Processes
2007 MIT CIO Symposium networks for competitive advantage: People, Partners & Processes mit Kresge Auditorium 05.17.07 The MIT Sloan Alumni Club of Boston thanks the following sponsors who helped make this event possible: gold level sponsors silver level sponsors Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the MIT Center for Digital Business, I would like to welcome you to the 2007 MIT CIO Symposium. The Center is pleased to once again be your co-host for this event, along with the MIT Sloan Alumni Club of Boston. Our theme for the 2007 CIO Symposium is “Networks for Competitive Advantage: People, Partners and Processes.” The Internet has provided a new communication medium, a reliable and robust stage for global commerce, and an increasingly trusted platform for doing business enabling reliable business models built on real value propositions. Online teams of individuals and groups bid, win and complete software projects without ever having met anyone in the contracting company. Never has the business environment been more complex. What better place on earth than MIT to not only make sense of this networked world, but also to provide methods of analysis and understanding to take best advantage of the opportunities within it. Four titans from the Center for Digital Business and MIT Sloan will lead sessions during the day today. Erik Brynjolfsson, whose forte is measuring the impact of IT on the productivity of companies and information workers; Tom Malone, who pushes us into the future with his thoughtful vision of the decentralized work force and the power of “collective intelligence”; Glen Urban, media sponsors who is helping companies realize that the Internet is the ultimate medium for building personal relationships with customers; Peter Weill has counseled countless companies around the globe on how to generate real and measurable value from IT. -

OMB/OMG Collaboration Agenda The President’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has been working with the OMG for several years. The OMB brought the Federal Transition Framework to the OMG and successfully defined an interchange standard using OMG's Model Driven Architecture approach. Over the last year the collaboration Gold Sponsors: has turned to the Metamodel for Federal Segment Architecture (MFSA). MFSA originally was begun to support the Federal Segment Architecture Reporting Template; however, it became clear that a larger view is necessary. There are overlapping semantics in a number of areas in the OMB: Segment Architecture, Federal Transition Framework, OMB 300, Exhibit 53, and the Consolidated Reference Models. These Silver Sponsors: pieces have been defined separately and differences in interpretations and details have occurred. This effort is intended to bring all of these pieces under a single semantic umbrella where they overlap. -
