Press Release

Adroit Consulting's Kathy Johnson Joins Executive Panel to Discuss Information Security, Privacy
Chicago - April 13, 2007

Adroit Consulting Principal Kathy Johnson will speak at the CIO Forum & Executive IT Summit on a panel discussing Information Security and Privacy issues next Tuesday, April 17 at the Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center in Schaumburg, Ill. Ms. Johnson is responsible for Adroit Consulting's Program Management Practice Area that specializes in helping companies manage and achieve business results from complex enterprise technology transformations.

Ms. Johnson will highlight the challenges her team encountered and overcame for a large global pharmaceutical company based in Illinois while implementing a global human resources data privacy project through the U.S. Department of Commerce Safe Harbor.

The two-day CIO event is co-hosted by the IT Executive Exchange and the Technology Executive Network and attracts CIOs from Illinois and neighboring states.

According to Ms. Johnson, "The success of a transformation initiative often hinges on the 'seemingly innocuous' role of the program management office (PMO) and its ability to define business and project requirements, anticipate challenges, and deliver the agreed-upon results. Many companies are increasingly choosing, as did this client, to implement independent PMOs that bridge the gap that often exists between business stakeholders, IT management and diverse internal organizational agendas. In this situation, we had a smart, talented PMO team, and as a result, the company achieved its goals despite multiple hurdles."
