Guest Speaker Craig Horgan & Suzanne Beltramini, PMP
 
Topic "Business Strategy and the Role of Relationship and Portfolio Management"

It would be easy to argue that the most strategic aspects of IT/Business alignment are relationship management and project portfolio management. The issue is how well they are done. Everyone does relationship management, but few acknowledge or devote resources to it. Portfolio management is something that everyone conceptually understands, but few do effectively. Speakers Craig Horgan and Suzanne Beltramini will provide insights into how Bose Corporation approaches relationship and portfolio management with separate but aligned groups in their IT organization.

 
About the Speakers Suzanne Beltramini is a Sr. Project Consultant, in the Corporate Information Services (CIS) Portfolio and Project Management Office (PPMO) at Bose Corporation. She has been with Bose since 1995 and is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP). Her responsibilities include working to understand, maximize and govern Bose’s IT investment portfolio, management of the CIS resource and project management methodologies, and overseeing a PMI accredited, in-house, project management training program. Beltramini’s role cuts across both the application and infrastructure domains and requires a tight partnership with CIS and business intake sources for all new project work.

Craig Horgan is the Manager of the IT Engagement Management program at Bose Corporation, a global leader in audio solutions for the home entertainment, aviation, automotive, and professional markets. His responsibilities include understanding, influencing and communicating the strategic direction of the business operations and IT, and collaborating with the business and IT to identify potential solutions and services that enable growth, optimize business processes and maximize IT assets. Horgan has also contributed to the development of the IT project and portfolio management office, quality assurance program, and service management processes. Prior to joining Bose, he worked at The Home Depot in a variety of IT leadership roles in the areas of business applications, infrastructure, electronic commerce, data warehouse, and IT governance.
