"About the workshop:
Business performance improvement happens one decision at a time. Around each decision is a nexus of information which links the decision to your organisation's strategy, financial performance, and to customer value.
When BPM initiatives aren't aligned to the way modern organisations govern and optimise information, they are limited in their effectiveness.
Attend this workshop to understand how aligning your BPM initiatives with your information management agenda can dramatically improve process performance and decision-making across your organisation.
Attendees will learn how to:
Identify the information assets critical to your organisation
Develop strategies to enhance your BPM initiative through improved information
management
Structure programs which integrate information with BPM
Manage real-time customer experiences
Create rich digital channels
Drive productivity improvements"

53. Core Shared Data
Every organisation has “core shared data”, which...
has differentiating value in the operating model
has a direct link between data quality issues and effective customer interactions
is required for most planning, performance management, customer service, or key
business process across business capabilities
would result in operational and performance measurement / management issues if
this data is not "the same" across the org
53
54. BPI and EIM – Common Ground
A bottom-up approach to defining a common information
model would be to:
Find and define all data in all systems, processes, and information stores across the
organisation
Match all definitions and content for all data to find the common information
Define priority & value based on existing information
Disadvantages include:
Time consuming
Does not uncover “unknowns” or information gaps
Not aligned to strategic pillars
Not aligned to transformation agenda
All data
54
55. BPI and EIM – Common Ground
Unfold through engagement with executive stakeholders
Be managed against specific components of the operating model such as:
Align to a business transformation agenda and / or benefits management strategy
Map to specific information use cases across the operating model
Has an associated CoE / CC to help the organisation approach in a consistent
manner
Business segments & capabilities
Customer touch-points
Regions & Customer Segments
Strategic & Shared Services
55
58. Creating Core Shared Data
The challenge is:
This "core shared data" is actually only created with a balance of policy, compliance,
standardisation, technical integration, and business process integration
No “culture of collaboration and sharing” is strong enough to make 10k+ people
invest once in an asset, nor would it be efficient / timely
An Enterprise Information Model delivers that policy compliance and standardisation

activities consistently, and service manage
•
Strategic Services – focus on strategy,

Oh dearThought it was walking into a hostile environment I’m the info guy in the process denBut: right information at the right place and the right time…….. silos versus capabilities – came up in a number of talks social productivity and “effective content strategy” – michelle’s talk awkwardly – the BPM CoE – there is also a IMCCSo…. Good match I though only IT people said “the business”…. Not one be lump…. Getting a “single owner” might not be possible…. Operating model might be distributed ………The business is multiple functions – Jobi said this well and showed what you have to consider – functionally – to influence strategy Joke: is it only IT departments and drug dealers who call their customers users?-----
I put this up for reasons…..1. I’m the information management guy 2. All that social data you are getting …. When people talk about every year we produce the same about of information produced from the beginning of time until 2003 some of it is this….So these days that’s what focus is…. That’s what differentiation is…. Not looking at everything
About meEnterprise information management – about 3 years What was I doing for the rest of the time?!? Architecture, Quality Assurance / Testing, I don’t know – people paid meQantas – campaign management in their frequent flyer program, disruption management. Very interesting procesess a campaign is beyond a marketing message ……. A customer experience point a disruption is an information management problem - total re-evaluation of experience, inventory of seats, re-flight planning, communication (social media etc) and yet running an airline doesn’t give you the capability to manage a disruption – you have to do it explicitly – what I call capability-based planningIAG – reinsurance costs RMS – move from a feature-based views of the network (something you build and maintain) to a customer based view – journey times starting to work with land and housing at the moment…. Portfolio of houses (rather than roads) and mainly trying to build and maintain rather than assess on livability starting to work with transgrid – decided to engage with stakeholders (thinking they would be able to counter the bad sentiment caused by building big ugly poles and substations) - stakeholders, particularly large consumers like Woolworths said: “stop building stuff! We can see that you have assets – use them better”

Quite ambitious but also quite simple
Change management – PEOPLE Business architecture – CAPABILITIES (glad EA is able to allow bus. Arch to exist by itself)KM – INFORMATIONCustomer experienceIntegrated Enterprise Excellence – “Performance Assurance” but also some revenue and yield management stuff we’ll go through
New kind of science – not a formula but a process a story of autonima is basically a story that you can see the world as a formula or you can use an algorithmic view of the world. Both supportive of the fact that a PROCESS played out by repeating system rules is important – but also that it can have unpredictable results Nature of order – does this increase your feeling of wholeness….. To wholeness is functional…. A beautiful process diagram is actually likely to be right (maybe) a fantastic story ….. Christpher Alexander basically asked people to look at a set of pictures and say “do these increase your sense of wholeness?” ….. No further information was given…. And people were forced to answer even when they didn’t understand the question….. And they basically had a really high correlation ……. Evn though it doesn’t make sense….. And then he goes on to show that this feeling is actually a good proxy for not only beautiy but functionally utility …. That people can just tell when things are rotten as long as they look…. Like those who look at process and and understand if it is good – but who is looking at the process? (you are)…. Also after years of doing pattern language or cookie-cutter help for non-professionals he decised that an unfolding process would work better i.e. look at wholeness, do a structure preserving transformation, and check for better wholeness Thinking fast and slow. – lots of biases in the system 1 thinking …… not good at seeing missing information, tend to make a decision based available information… system 2 is your org with information magement - PALMER SENIOR!!!!!Ulysses – one day in Dublin
Every org has a conceptual data model – when you engage the business architectsIt has an “asset” because conceptually lots of things are assetsIT assets Sub-stationsOr pieces of equipment that make up your network Problem is while the shape of the process is similar for say procuring the assets the information required is different IT is about getting standard builds equipment on your network has to be procured and testing in sets before it’s dug into the ground larger assets are maintained while smaller assets are replaced configuration management …… data centre management smart grid……..Somebody has to give….. too often I hear “compliance to the procurement process is good for IT assets but not good for other assets” if you can make that distinction they are different assets or different infromation types I’ll do a deal with you I’ll stop them putting “asset” in conceptual data models you think carefully before thinks a process is the same – reuse by all means but for the natural complience shape
Fiona Ryan (ABS)You can’t make infrastructure decisions without considering impact on collections etc…... Channel everything through reengineering CoE---- but this isn’t sustainable because you re taking on the role of the capabiltiy owner……
Following from “burden of EAs”….Also How many EAs does it take to define EA..?Well that depends on what you mean by EA
Teaching managers that organisations are made of functions and then that all initiaves of value are cross-functional is BS!!!
Ask in your next meeting who owns the information – they point to the IT guyAsk who owns “detailed stuff in general” IT!
And because of that….
NOT ONE BIG LUMP!GOING BACK TO THE BUSINESS IS NOT THE SOLUTION!“while budgets are allocated functionally it’s hard to break down silos”
It’s really cheap dataCloud is cheap IT (or easy to source IT)…. Also because it’s easy to source everybody has it“I have my salesforce.comimplementation! Go away!”“no sorry, we still need the information in that system for other purposes”
That’s why it flows
That’s why there is lots of it but competative advantage isn’t created through abundance it’s create through scarcity or differentiation of difference in valuation
Need to find the gold Could be a decision a customer is about to makeComplex events (including very human events like decisions, sentiment, and proxies for connectedness)
So it’s what you do with it.
We all have customer…. Haha…. “we don’t have customers”…. But ASIC ----- not customers…. “regulated entities”… “customers as the public”
Opportunity to consolidate like processes not just invoicing process “approval process”
I’m going to mention this in the roadmap…Importantly this stay the same across the org structure change – just like Jobi’s business function model
The process of taking a single Core Shared Data area and investigating its end-to-end lifecycle is called an “information optimisation initiative”. However, it is preferred that these initiatives are branded for easy reference and communication of the effort. For NBN Co. a “Spectacle” or “Information Spectacle” is the preferred label for these efforts.Each Spectacle has the following characteristics:Formed through a cross-functional team representing all aspects of the information’s lifecycleIncludes IM specialist resources focusing on each of the following:Information structure Information qualityInformation value Information exploitation & useSponsored by the Information CustodianBriefed by the executive team to ensure the focus is on the critical dimensions relevant to this area of information in the origination; focus is typically a sub-set of the following:Efficiency – information has limited perceived value and effort should focus on reducing redundancy, automation, and cycle times of related processesExploitation – information has potential for additional usages and effort should focus on blue-sky thinking, brainstorming, and collation of potential additional internal and commercial uses of the informationImpact of quality – information quality is seen to have a direct correlation to business effectiveness and effort should focus on the import of quality issues, base-lining current quality, and the business cases for improvementAlternatively, the existing “Tiger” team or Quality Improvement Processes can be updated to include all aspects of an information optimisation initiative. If this approach is taken the proposed initiatives identified in Section 8.1 should still be scheduled and care taken to ensure the focus is on information improvements rather than just process improvement.
When you talk campaigns – not campaigns to promote your function! Actual campaigns that coordinate functions to apply the resources of your organisation to your customers when it’s needed mostPositive enhanced Negative turned around
RembmerJobi’sstraregy to function mapping ……strategy to functional model mapping!!!!awesome! except it means everything is cross-functional… but still not governance.…. solution is capability based governance and capability-based strategy….
