How Coalface Works
Briefing Sessions
Hear fellow members’ experience with current information technology.
Held up to 6 times a year in each city, Coalface forums provide the opportunity for members to meet face to face. Every briefing has a specific theme (chosen by members) and includes case studies from member organisations on the progress and results (positive and negative) of information technology projects. Any three staff from a member organisation can attend these meetings. In addition, Coalface personnel give a vendor and research independent perspective of the topics discussed at each briefing.
Members request for Assistance
Reduce the need for consultants by finding other members who have previously tackled the problems you are now facing.
Often you may be wrestling with a problem and wonder whether anyone else has faced and addressed this challenge. Coalface Dialogue will, on your behalf, articulate an email outlining your problems for distribution among members of the Coalface IT Executive Community. This will enable you to leverage the practical experiences of your local peers in other organisations as, and when, you need it.
Coalface Bulletins
Build a reference archive of detailed local IS implementations that cover the full range of challenges confronting the modern IS executive.
Coalface forum bulletins provide a
synopsis of the presentations and discussion at each
briefing to act as a reference point for Forum members
on major IT issues. Even if you are unable to attend a
briefing you can read the outputs from these meetings
at your leisure.
The Asia Pacific IT Leaders Agenda
Enhance your business cases by obtaining pertinent, local and current industry data.
To compliment the anecdotal research
gathered from the Coalface IT Executive
Community presentations, Coalface undertakes an
extensive written survey of local IS executives to
gain insights into things like IT investment,
technology adoption and challenges facing IS
executives.
