The Art of Influence: Getting Things Done When You Are Not In Charge
[image: Jeff Scott]
Our speaker will be Jeff Scott is the VP of Business and Technology
Strategy for Accelare Inc., a US- based management consulting firm enabling
strategy execution excellence. He works with Fortune 1000 companies on a
wide variety of consulting engagements including strategy development,
business architecture, organizational change, & innovation management.
Before joining Accelare, Jeff was a principal analyst with Forrester
Research where he established Forrester's business architecture practice
and published over 50 research reports and numerous articles on the topics
of business architecture, enterprise architecture management, and strategy
development.
Prior to Forrester, Jeff founded Logical Leap, Inc., a management
consulting firm that specialized in creating powerful IT organizations
through the development and execution of organizational, business, and
technology strategies. He also developed and delivered leadership and
architecture management seminars to over 1,000 IT and business
professionals.
Jeff is an internationally recognized thought-leader in the areas of
business architecture, IT leadership, and organizational innovation. He
frequently speaks, writes, and teaches seminars on these topics. He has a
Master of Arts degree in learning and experimental psychology from Wake
Forest University. Jeff currently writes the blog: The Business Architect.
This interactive-presentation provides an overview of the following:
The ability to influence others is the key to personal and professional
success. Nowhere is this more important than in IT where leaders must
bring together people with a variety of perspectives, values, and goals to
create a common solution. Too often, IT leaders rely on positional
authority, process, and "being the expert" to drive support. While we all
yearn for more power and control, this isn't how leaders work. Whether you
are an intern, clerk, or CEO, influence is the key to success. This session
will explore the relationships between power, process, politics, and
promotion to provide proven methods to increase your organizational
influence.
Key takeaways:
- Why people resist change and what you can do about it
- How it increase your personal power
- Models for organizational change

This interactive-
The ability to influence others is the key to personal and professional
success. Nowhere is this more important than in IT where leaders must
bring together people with a variety of perspectives, values, and goals to
create a common solution. Too often, IT leaders rely on positional
authority, process, and "being the expert" to drive support. While we all
yearn for more power and control, this isn't how leaders work. Whether you
are an intern, clerk, or CEO, influence is the key to success. This session
will explore the relationships between power, process, politics, and
promotion to provide proven methods to increase your organizational
influence.
Key takeaways:
- Why people resist change and what you can do about it
- How it increase your personal power
- Models for organizational change
