SUMMARY:Consulting Trends Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Insights |Challenges | Trends    \nThird Friday of the month \nTRENDS Focus\nSector Discussion\nInformation Technology & Telecom\nThe Digital Nervous System\nTheme: Transitioning from “Troubleshooting” to “Strategy” in IT and Telecom. \n    The Facilitator’s Goal: Information technology and telecommunications are no longer “back-office” functions; they are the environment in which all modern business occurs. This session bridges the gap between technical infrastructure and strategic consulting advice for non-specialists.\n    The Three Pillars of Discussion:\n       The Digital Ceiling (Connectivity): Identifying where infrastructure acts as a growth bottleneck rather than an enabler.\n       The Digital Perimeter (Risk & Geopolitics): Navigating the P.E.S.T.L.E. impacts of cyber-warfare and privacy liability.\n       The Hardware Lifecycle (Risk vs. Recovery): Managing forced obsolescence and the financial recapture of “Hardware Debt.”\n    Opening Thought: “In 2026\, a client with inadequate IT isn’t just inefficient; they are invisible to their market. As consultants\, we must ensure their ‘Digital Nervous System’ supports their 3-year vision.” \nIMC Chicagoland Community hosts a virtual monthly Trends Friday breakfast meeting. We discuss a topic in a selected business sector to broaden our knowledge beyond our practice areas. We have an annual calendar of monthly sectors for our meetings. \nAnnual Trends calendar \n \nAll are welcome. Please join us to learn and grow. \nFull details on Eventbrite    https://www.eventbrite.com/o/imc-usa-chicagoland-33785475347 \nThe Chicagoland Community is the successor to the former Chicago Chapter originally organized on geography. Technology has allowed us to expand our reach.  All are welcome to attend our event \n \nOur meetings are scheduled from 7:30am to 9:00am CST \n7:30 AM CST Networking :: 7:45-9:00 AM CST Discussion  \nZoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/534649516 \nVisit our LinkedIn Community Page\nJoin Our IMC Chicagoland LinkedIn Group\nVisit our Eventbrite Organization Page
