Operations Strategy is still Strategy
EA Aphorism 1

4. ContextofFutureCities
•Problem: Based on statistical
data, what is the predicted
trend in next term?
•Data: Aggregation,
prediction, monthly/yearly
•User: Agency resource
planning & policy making
•Problem: What is happening
on the ground right now?
•Data: Real-time specialized
sensor data
•User: Agency operation
center
•Problem: How can we tweak
the policy to promote citizen
satisfaction?
•Data: Economic data,
complaint, social media,
monthly/yearly aggregation
•User: National Policy Maker
•Problem: Is there certain
area that agencies can
collaborate?
•Data: Sense data from
multiple agencies at real-time

6. Challenges Faced by Public Sector
Consumer
• Pays upon consumption
• Addressed in segments
• Premium to Differentiate
• Competition is an advantage
• Urbanization is Opportunity
• Offers Financial Value
• Loyalty is earnt
Constituent
• Pre-paid in tax
• All-in-5G
• Fairness in Uniformity
• Competes for advantage
• Urbanization is Threat
• Offers Economic Value
• Loyalty is enforced

17. Future Cities Considerations & Principles
• Wide-spread adoption is critical
• Centralized vs. Federated operating models
• Data Sovereignty, Privacy and Protection from the core
• Generic solutions vs. Point-Solutions
• Build a strong scalable foundation and offer Incremental Benefits
• Fail-fast, continuous automated testing & deployment
• Decide who pays and how they pay for it

18. Metamorphosis of the EA Role
• The new EA is an Ecosystem Architect
• Get Cyber-Physical to conquer the IT-OT divide
• Enterprise Architecture - 3P’s
• Think Agile (Note to Self: Iteration is not Design)
• How not to become a vanishing trade?
