Presentation from IoT Solutions World Congress 2016 in Barcelona prepared and delivered by Lukasz Paciorkowski.
Abstract:
In this talk we will learn about two market leaders in two different industries - manufacturing and biopharma - how they used 2-speed IT to quickly capture market potential enabled by IoT. We will also look at benefits brought by moving from disconnected to smart enterprise, different IoT strategies and how to retain startup-like flexibility at the same time enabling market expansion on the global scale.
Curated an great dialogue with the AITP San Diego organization in May 2015 on the importance of DevOps to all organizations taking the Digital Enterprise journey.
Join RES Software and other industry guests as we discuss the trends and obstacles that IT organizations should be prepared to face in the coming year. Get insight into what you can do today to prepared for future changes within your organization.
Are Your IT Professionals Fire-Fighting When They Should Be InnovatingRES
Service desk tickets drain shared resources especially when many are for basic tasks such as printer set ups.
Experienced engineers are wasting their time on low level repetitive tasks rather than driving IT innovation in the interests of your business.
There is a solution; new frameworks are transforming the delivery of IT and services. They enable employees to solve their own ‘IT problems’ without being stuck logged in a queue. What’s more, labour savings of between 6,000 and 14,500 IT engineer hours per year can be realised through the predictable delivery of services, and by the automation of service desk tasks.

Providing a superior digital employee experience increases productivity, boosts morale, and delivers business value from IT investments. Organisations that fail to deliver; risk productive and financial cost to the business—for example the average UK worker loses over two weeks a year due to technology trouble.
So what are the steps required to build a comprehensive view of your IT experience quality and enable a pro-active, continuous improvement path? This session explores approaches and real examples proven to effectively measure, manage, and benchmark IT experience from a business perspective to align with the guiding principles of ITIL 4, in order to help shift from traditionally IT-focussed SLAs to metrics that more fully encompass end-users.
Visibility in real-time allows businesses to plan, forecast and detect glitches along operations. Allowing them to instantly prevent, adapt and solve unexpected events.
AppSphere 15 - Transforming the Business: The Role of DevOpsAppDynamics
DevOps practices are being used by an increasing number of IT executives and teams across development, application support, and operations to increase the speed and quality of application deployments. Besides technology and process benefits, DevOps can drive significant business outcomes, and lead a bottoms up approach for transforming culture and organizational structures. This session will answer the following questions:
- How do DevOps practices increase IT performance?
- What metrics should I use to gauge success, and how should they be defined?
- What role can application performance and analytics play in DevOps, and delivering business value?
- How does DevOps transform the security, compliance, and audit conversation?

Consumer applications are just a swipe or a touch away, but organizations still struggle to give workers access to the applications and IT services they need, when and where they need it. They want to be productive – and no more so than on their first day in a new role. Yet access to the apps, content and services they need can often take days to deliver.
Ensure the Day One productivity of your organization’s employees with easy-to-use, enterprise-ready and easily compatible technology. You can become the champion of today’s empowered workers.

How much does one story point cost? Is Sprint 0 an expense or an asset? Can you run Scrum with a fixed-cost contract? Agile challenges the existing approach to financial aspects of running projects: i.e. budgeting, forecasting, financial planning and vendor contracts.
Applying new financial models becomes increasingly important for larger organizations adopting Agile. While they are going through an Agile transformation, they also need to maintain transparent financial governance and reporting. Shareholders would not be too excited about messy Annual Financial Statements.
From dysfunction to cross function in 8,593 easy steps- team building at the cbcJade Stephen, PSM II
When it comes to scaling Agile, there is no one size fits all solution. Frameworks like Scrum and XP prescribe roles, events, artifacts, and rules that make it very clear how interaction should take place within a team. When we begin to add more teams to the mix, communication between teams becomes more complex. This complexity threatens to reduce our transparency and damage our culture. How can we share information, build our culture and work together, all while keeping with Agile values?
During this session Sam Lightowler and Jade Stephen will take an in depth look at the successes and failures of CBC Digital Operations when it comes to cross-team collaboration and information sharing. We will discuss what meetings and techniques have helped us build a one-team-one-product mindset, a sense of community, and a culture of Collaboration, Learning and Improvement. We will also discuss what we have tried in the past and how learning from those experiments helped us evolve into the agile-friendly and unified team that we are today.
European University Barcelona Campus: Beyond Budgeting – A (Secret) Performan...Fabiola Eyholzer
Barcelona, Spain | Mar-12-2015
Forbes Magazine calls Agile “The Best Kept Secret in Management” and industry leaders and key players across all industries are already embracing lean | agile – a leadership philosophy with a set of tools and techniques based on specific values and principles – with the goal of making their organizations more responsive, innovative, and engaging.
Besides applying a toolset instrumental for driving innovation, reducing time-to-market, and improving customer satisfaction, companies are revising and realigning their leadership approach in order to ensure not only precise, but also fast and flexible decisions, swift accomplishments, and valuable interactions. This will alter their approach towards providing, managing, and monitoring their initiatives and resources and help them meet the demands of a constantly and rapidly changing business environment. Lean | agile provides them with an unparalleled competitive advantage that will impact their bottom line in a positive and sustainable manner.
This presentation focuses on the characteristics of Lean | Agile enterprises and how they approach financial planning and investment approaches in a more flexible way. We talk about “Beyond Budgeting” (also known as “Beta-Complex”) that eliminate traditional budget and budget reporting and discuss their validity and impact.

Netflix’s unique DVD rental service has revolutionized the industry. They successfully took the best of traditional conventions (like physical media, the U.S. Postal Service) and mixed them with new world internet-conventions. They have also effectively managed to discourage competition from both more established businesses and new entrants. The future growth of Netflix as it expands into streaming media, poses challenges in legal, infrastructure/technology, and through additional costs. In order to remain competitive, it is imperative that Netflix partner with companies with global reach to overcome these challenges. This presentation was part of an MBA class assignment to audit and industry in the the technology sector. The presentation has multiple authors listed on the title page. If you would like copies of the executive summary, complete S.W.O.T. analysis, and/or the transcript of the presentation please PRIVATE MESSAGE ME and I will email it to you.

7 Principles of Agile Enterprises
1. P r i n c i p l e s o f A g i l e E n te r p r i s e s
Shaping Today’s Technology Into Tomorrow’s Innovations7
2. Agile enterprises…
1. Prioritize with a pace layered application strategy.
2. Execute with a high level strategy.
3. Identify areas of opportunity.
4. Never build anything twice.
5. Harness the exponential pace of technology.
6. Create an enterprise-wide feedback culture.
7. Unmask innovation superheroes.
Even the most experienced Agile IT teams have a hard
time keeping up with the rising demand for new
business applications. When it comes to supporting
these teams, Jeff Sutherland – co-creator of the widely
adopted Scrum development methodology – says “it’s
all about adaptability.”
The problem is simple: Yesterday’s enterprise
technology is too rigid to support today’s demands for
new and improved business applications.
View this slideshow to learn how the world’s elite
organizations maintain market leadership in highly
competitive industries by embracing adaptability as a
key growth enabler.
P r i n c i p l e s o f A g i l e E n t e r p r i s e s
Shaping Today’s Technology Into Tomorrow’s Innovations7
3. Prioritize with a pace layered application strategy.
Agile enterprises prioritize their systems by pace layers, or
the speed at which they need to adapt. They don’t let
Systems of Record (like ERP or CRM) get in the way of
differentiating and innovative applications. While Systems
of Record are vital to everyday business processes, they
require substantially more resources to change. Agile
enterprises take advantage of rapid application delivery
frameworks to build new differentiating and innovating
applications on top of their Systems of Record.
1
“Speed and agility have become a
business mandate in our industry.”
Richard Warner, CIO, LV= Insurance
4. Execute with a high level strategy.
Agile enterprises acknowledge the Pareto Principle, wherein 80% of a project’s effects come from 20% of
its causes. With this in mind, they start executing with high level requirements, knowing that feedback on
each iteration will further shape their idea. Rather than getting caught up in the details of a new project,
Agile enterprises start executing with a high level strategy and develop their concepts iteratively.
2
“There are a bunch of myths about
innovation. A lot of innovation, even
radical innovation, is caused by small
steps.”
Jeff Sutherland, co-creator of Scrum
5. Identify areas of opportunity.
Agile enterprises are resourceful in their pursuit of innovative applications that enable them to maintain
their market leadership. They continuously renew value in past technology investments by extending
existing Systems of Record with new user interfaces, built-in business logic, and augmented data
structures that streamline and automate inefficient business processes. These enterprises don’t have the
words ‘rip’ nor ‘replace’ in their vocabulary.
3
“Platform as a service is the next step in a
long evolution of advancements within
application development.”
Eric Rawlings, CTO, Digital Risk LLC
6. Never build anything twice.
Agile enterprises are always on the hunt for development synergies that save time and resources. Sharing
and re-using application components in a central and secure Enterprise App Store assures that time spent
building new applications is time spent creating new business value – not reinventing the wheel. Agile
enterprises spend their resources carefully; that means never building anything from scratch when
someone else in the organization has already built it.
4
“We are under exponentially increasing
pressure to be more cost effective.”
Jim Winburn, CTO & Co-Founder, Acorn Applications
LLC
7. Harness the exponential pace of technology.
The exponential speed of technological advancement reflects the compounding nature of innovation.
Agile enterprises know this and utilize new technologies to make their own technology better, faster,
smarter, and more adaptive. They build the pursuit of innovative technologies into their overall innovation
process. Companies that fail to adopt new expertise and tooling ultimately fail to push their own
technology forward at the rate their market requires.
5
“Waiting several years or even
six months is no longer

8. Create an enterprise-wide feedback culture.
Agile enterprises bring an iterative methodology to all of their projects. They create a feedback culture
that rewards product owners with valuable insights and fosters cross-functional collaboration. These
teams release early, and release often knowing that requirements and priorities will likely have changed
by the time they’re ready for their next iteration (see Principle #2). The consistent capture of new
feedback enables Agile enterprises to continuously adapt their systems and processes.

“Scrum is really taking over the way of
working, not only in IT, but it’s starting to
spread outside of IT.”
Jeff Sutherland, co-creator of Scrum
9. Unmask innovation superheroes.
There are members of every organization that hold expertise in multiple disciplines, demonstrating a
propensity for technology as well as their particular business function. Agile enterprises know that this
perspective has an advantage in conceptualizing and executing innovative applications. Whether they
come from IT or business backgrounds, these ‘superheroes’ are recruited, conditioned, and tasked with
turning innovative and differentiating ideas into reality.

10. Do you work for an Agile enterprise?
Ask yourself:
1. Are our new differentiating and innovative applications held back by Systems of Record?
2. Do we extensively document requirements prior to developing a new application?
3. Does our IT team spend the majority of their time maintaining existing systems?
4. Do our development teams work in siloes, building the same software over and over?
5. Does my company’s competitors use more advanced technology than we do?
6. Are our projects executed without transparency and broad stakeholder input?
7. Do colleagues constantly come up with ‘work-arounds’ for technical inefficiencies?
