SME Breakfast Seminar - Achieving Successful Reporting Projects
This document outlines steps for achieving successful business reporting projects. It begins with statistics showing the importance of analytics and information availability. The reporting spectrum is defined, from static reports to predictive modeling. Key aspects of successful reporting are identified as having information available when needed, with flexible drill-down and business users answering their own questions. Typical starting points for small-to-medium enterprises are described as disparate systems with outdated Excel reports. Five steps are then outlined: understanding the current situation, creating an analytic culture, identifying a high-impact problem to solve, selecting the right tools, and getting feedback to continuously improve the solution.
Sample Assessment SOW Scope

Supplier And Service Provider Governance
Competence in sourcing is a core skill of the IT function. The IT function is becoming largely a manager of suppliers and service providers across a wide range of products, solutions and services. IT mediates between the business and the supplier ecosystem, acting as a lens focussing business needs on appropriate suppliers. When products and services are outsourced, the risks of the suppliers and service providers are inherited by the acquiring organisation. Sourcing should not be a “fire and forget” activity. Effective supplier selection and ongoing assessment, validation and management is an important skill for the IT function. The Service Organisation Controls audit approach can be adapted for use by the IT function to develop an approach to vendor governance.

Real Time Data Strategy and Architecture
This describes a generalised and structured approach to defining a strategy for collecting (near or actual) real time, high volume data. The appproach can be applied to areas such as Telemetry, Big Data, Smart Metering and Internet of Things implementations and operations. This proposed structured approach is intended to ensure that complexity is understood and can be appropriately addressed at an early stage before problems become to embedded to be solved. Real time situational data gives rise to situational awareness and understanding which in turn presents opportunities for effective and rapid situational decisions. Real time situational data enables greater situational visibility which means increased operational intelligence.
Info System 2
This document summarizes a lecture on information systems and development. It discusses what different users of information want, including management wanting business intelligence and reduced costs, investors wanting profits, and customers wanting 24/7 availability. It also covers reasons why acquisitions of accounting information systems may fail, such as lack of management support or changing needs. Finally, it outlines a project management framework for IT projects including user participation, assigning responsibilities, and dividing projects into phases.

Stopping Analysis Paralysis And Decision Avoidance In Business Analysis And S...
Analysis paralysis and decision avoidance occur all too frequently and commonly in the business and solution analysis and design process. It wastes time and money. Analysis paralysis occurs when you cannot escape the analysis stage – you are always looking for more information and for perfection. Decision avoidance and evasion occurs when there is a decision making request/response loop as there are seemingly endless requests for more information – there are always requests for more details, additional options and more clarifications.
There are two possible loops:
1. Analysis Loop – where analysis never finished. Analysis and design do not want to let go – always looking for perfection and want to retain ownership.
2. Decision/Analysis Loop – where decision making is deferred because of requests for more analysis. Fear of decision-making is masked by endless requests for more information and options.
You cannot avoid analysis but do not perform analysis is isolation without a business and solution context
The Conceptual Solution Architecture framework focusses on the core functional and system components of the solution. This enables effective decision-making on the available options implementation time-frames, implementation approaches and likely budget requirements.
Effective analysis and solution design minimise the Solution Space while maximising the size of Requirements Space encompassed within it.
You need to measure the progress of analysis and design and decision making to identify when progress is stalling.
The IT function needs to be a lens concentrating solution need onto solution options. It needs to successfully mediate between the business as the originator of a solution need and the solution provider, either internal or external or both. The IT function needs to be good at moving from analysis and option identification to an implementation decision quickly and effectively.
You need a systematic, structured and measurable approach to decision making. Decision making that follows a systematic approach is be more productive and results in better decisions.

The Need For Effective Early Engagement In Solution Architecture And Design
Early engagement in the solution delivery process needs to occur before any solution delivery project is initiated. Its objective is to understand the scope, requirements, objectives, approach, options and to get a high-level understanding of the likely resources, timescale and cost required before starting the project
Fundamentally, early engagement is about managing risk:
• Risk of doing the wrong thing
• Risk of doing it in the wrong way
• Risk of underestimating complexity and scope of work
• Risk of higher than expected cost of operation and maintenance
• Risk of underestimating organisation change impact and organisation resistance
• Risk through uncertainty
Early engagement is not a requirements gathering exercise. Traditional requirements gathering requires substantial initial effort, resources and cost and for the business to commit without doubts, uncertainties and ambiguities being known.
Early Engagement involves taking a not necessarily well-defined request from the business and creating an unambiguous set of solution options including their delivery and operation quickly and accurately
This paper describes an approach to early engagement in the solution definition process.
The new lean
The document discusses new themes in applying Lean principles within banking and financial institutions. It notes that high cost pressures have pushed these organizations to seek more efficient tools like Lean. While Lean was gaining traction in other industries, many banking implementations were ineffective, with only 2% achieving desired results. Successful deployments focused on customers, sustainable long-term implementation across all functions, and embracing change. In contrast, most saw limited benefits due to siloed, process-focused efforts with little follow-through. The document outlines evolving Lean themes, including incorporating it throughout the operating model, using data to drive decisions, innovating beyond waste removal, and establishing Lean as a cultural change rather than just projects.

What ISO Management Systems can learn from Balanced Scorecard?
Balanced Scorecard is a Strategy Management System developed by Professors Kaplan and Norton. It is probably the most comprehensive system/tool in the modern world. It allows an organization balance its Strategy across 4 perspectives (Financial, Customer, Internal Process and Learning and Growth Perspectives). It further lets an organization break down each of these 4 perspectives based on 4 criteria which are Objectives, Measures, Target and Initiatives. There is a lot that ISO Implementers and Auditors need to learn from a Balanced Scorecard that will help in better delivering ISO engagements. This webinar will take a critical look at what is Balanced Scorecard and what ISO Consultants need to know to about it.
Main points covered:
• What is a Balance Scorecard?
• How Balance Scorecard allows organization to balance its Strategy across 4 perspectives (Financial, Customer, Internal Process and Learning and Growth Perspectives)
• How an organization breaks down each 4 perspective based on 4 criteria (Objectives, Measures, Target and Initiatives)

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
