So how are we at SilverStorm helping CIO´s Transform IT?
For us it´s simple, Transforming IT means raising the credibility of IT to gain the collaboration of others throughout the organization.
The first step: Increase “CREDIBILITY”.

We'll look at two social media success stories and discuss why each one was successful. We'll begin with a look into EdgeRank, Facebook's algorithm for prioritizing the New Feed.
Then we'll talk about a Facebook success for a 501c3. We planned a celebration for an organization of 10 people and got 100 people in attendance We'll look at another story about a group of folks who thought Facebook was either a toy or evil. We were able to get folks on board and raise money for the homeless in my town using Facebook.
We'll look at other social media outlets and introduce the Pew Research Center's internet data. We'll have a lively discussion and plenty of time for attendees to share their own successes and ask questions of the group.

«Самоорганизуй» себя, пока не «самоорганизовали» тебяAndrii Dzynia
«Возможно ли управлять временем? Спорный вопрос. Время идет и мы ничего не можем поделать. Но в наших силах научиться управлять собой, своими привычками, идеями. При этом, очень важно, чтобы мы управляли своими собственными идеями, а не теми которые кто-то придумал за нас. Учиться самоорганизации можно по-разному и каждый находит свой индивидуальный путь обучения. На докладе я расскажу о своем пути развития Self Management System(SMS), о тех практиках которые применял и продолжаю применять ежедневно».

IBM Smarter Business 2012 - PureSystems - PureDataIBM Sverige
År 2013 kommer nästan 70 % av företagens driftkostnader att läggas på existerande IT. Endaste en av fem organisationer lägger idag mer än 50 % av IT-budgeten på nya projekt. Med vetskap om den digitala tillväxt vi har framför oss, handlar ödesfrågan enligt Don Boulia, Vice President Strategy, IBM Software Group, därför om hur väl ett företags infrastruktur klarar förändringarna. Nya lanseringen i familjen IBM PureSystems, PureData, adresserar utmaningarna med stora datamängder.

This is a presentation I gave to the Ohio Valley LIG of the Service Management Forum in April of 2010.
I focused the presentation on three main themes:
1) The refinement or removal of non value-added processes in IT (the "big" idea of Lean IT)
2) The institution of metrics (if you don't know where you are now, how do you know where you're going in the future?)
3) The enhancement of communications (manage projects throughout their lifecycle using normalized interfaces)

6. Top CIO Challenges
1. Maximize utilization of existing resources – manpower, technology
assets, infrastructure etc., “do more with less, continue doing more with
less…”
2. Retention, Training and Reskilling of internal talent in the organization.
Strengthen People Management and Leadership skills for self as well
3. Identify areas of opportunity within the organization for cost reduction and
value creation. Adopt simple practices as recommended by TPM, Kaizen etc
to generate quick wins and create visibility of IT
4. Establish „partnership‟ with strategic vendors and service providers with a
focus on co-creation of value in a collaborative manner. Examine current
contracts and renegotiate wherever possible, or factor in value addition to
get more from the same contracts
5. Create a focused approach for Corporate Information Security and
protection of Intellectual Property
7. Top CIO Challenges
6. GRC – Corporate Governance and creating a Risk and Compliance
Framework
7. Infrastructure Management – Extending the lifecycle of the
investments made
8. Virtualization and Consolidation
9. IT enabling the organization, to drive operational and process
efficiencies
10. Extending the value chain of Enterprise Applications to external
stakeholders
8. Top Enterprise Technologies
1. Enterprise Content Management
2. Information Security Management
3. Business Intelligence / Analytics
4. Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity Planning
5. Collaborative Computing / Open Source
6. Cloud Computing
7. HMI (Plant to Business Integration – Shop floor to Top floor)
8. Green IT
9. Virtualization and Consolidation

5. Creativity and flexibility (the ability to embrace change)
6. The Ability to be a “Fish Out of Water” leader
7. The ability to position one‟s organization as a hub for talent
8. Consistency
10. The 4Ps – Keys to Success
1. Perception – Shape how you are viewed
2. Profile – Craft more than your org chart slot
3. Participation – Don‟t wait to be asked
4. Performance – Stand and Deliver
• There is no future for the „order taking, looking only for
efficiencies‟ type of CIO : Change or be ousted.. KPMG
Report
• The big game in town now has moved on from efficiency – although
that is still important – to how everybody exploits IT to create
value and what that does for a company‟s investment plans and
the changes that the company makes… Chris Potts, IT
Strategist and author of FruiTion
11. How CIOs should think about
business value
• Many organizations can‟t get a true fix on the value IT adds to the
businesses it serves : defining, measuring and maximizing that value
remains elusive
• Grasping the business value from IT is challenging. CIOs who are
successful in this endeavor, broaden their scope of action beyond
the technical sphere and traditional IT levers
14. How can IT add Strategic Value to
the Enterprise ?
1. Revenue growth/customer reach
A leading study by Microsoft and the Harvard Business School found that
leading IT functions can improve revenue growth by almost 7%.
Source: Research study by Keystone Strategy
Inc. Harvard Business School and Microsoft
2. Profitability/cost competitiveness
A study by the Hackett Group found that top IT performers generate $1.07
billion more operating profit on an annual basis and $645 million higher net
profit
Source; “Delivering Value Through IT Business Value Management”.
3. Shareholder value/stakeholder confidence
A study by the Corporate Executive Board found that overall competence in
the IT function can increase Total Shareholder Return by as much as 20%;
Source: “The Performance Payoff”.
4. Risk reduction
A study by the ISF (Information Security Forum) found that the 30% of top
performers in Information Security have significantly fewer security incidents
(37%).
15. Do these trends imply changing the look out
towards IT ?
Organizational considerations
► Diversification planned
► Growth plan
► Inconsistencies in IT functions
► How to achieve the required automation
► Empowering IT group with a certain set of
policies and procedures
► How to make sure that the information
needs of various stakeholders are being
fulfilled
► Is IT satisfying the automation and
information needs at all levels
► How to manage a the IT function
17. Strategic Alignment - Business Strategy or IT Strategy? Is
there an answer?
► Today's organizations have adopted information technology
in an “enabler role‟ over a past perception of “supporter role‟.
► Considering the benefits derived due to IT enablement the
annual budgets of organizations includes IT initiatives.
► Having decided to invest in information technology, management
of most organizations want to align IT adoption in line with the
business strategy .
► To address the above concern, one has to consider the
information universe. This will take into account the business
strategy and information needs of the organization.
► Based on the business strategy a “fit for purpose‟ IT
strategy is developed which enlists the IT initiatives to support the
short and long term business goals.
► IT strategy also provides a roadmap for implementation
of the initiatives and guidelines on the governance models for the
implementation plans.
18. Strategy for “Best in Class” enterprise
Drivers
►Draw out synergies between
businesses across:
► IT strategic initiatives
► IT application and infrastructure
► IT Service Management
► People and Processes
► Evolve IT as business enabler
for future business growth and
competitive advantage
► Establish Aligned and
Accountable IT organization
► Industry Benchmark to leverage
and adopt leading practices
