Program Management Outsourcing: Challenges & Factors Contributing to SuccessMoataz Y. Hussein
Over the past few years, outsourcing the program management function in large-scale programs has been popular amongst public and private sector organizations. It has been implemented in countries with promising national development plans in the sectors of Construction, Oil & Gas, Public Health, Education, and Telecommunication as well as in countries which are hosting special international events like the Olympics, World Cup, or a global exposition. The clients, public or private sectors, tend to go for well-known program management consultants (PMCs). Few reasons justify this strategy, among which are transferring the risks resulting from the administrative and technical complexity of the program to a third party and lack of skills and expertise. Nevertheless, these programs are challenged with meeting budget, schedule, and other program or business objectives.
This study aims at investigating and identifying the common challenges and factors contributing to success in PMC engagements. The study addresses these common challenges expressed as the missing enablers or factors in the program. The absence of these critical factors is considered a challenge that faces the Program Management Outsourcing model used today. In the same way and by the same argument it is shown that the existence of these factors or enablers will increase the likelihood of program success. The focus is on the key factors that pave the road for a productive client-PMC relationship, without going into the details of the program and related technical issues. In order to elicit these factors or enablers, a literature review has been done coupled with a questionnaire survey conducted amongst practitioners & academics. Finally a PMC-led program governance structure has been proposed.
EA governance is the practice by which enterprise architectures are managed and controlled at an enterprise-wide level. Governance processes should be tailored to the particular environment of the organization, as well as the architectural goals and objectives of that organization, and should never hinder time to market. A centralized governance body can facilitate and drive key functional and architectural decisions across the primary internal stakeholders to ensure that the enterprise architecture addresses customers’ needs.

Simulation in the supply chain context: a survey

Abstract
The increased level of competitiveness in all industrial sectors, exacerbated in the last years by the globalisation of the economies and by the sharp fall of the final demands, are pushing enterprises to strive for a further optimisation of their organisational processes, and in particular to pursue new forms of collaboration and partnership with their direct logistics counterparts. As a result, at a company level there is a progressive shift towards an external perspective with the design and implementation of new management strategies, which are generally named with the term of supply chain management (SCM). However, despite the flourish of several IT solutions in this context, there are still evident hurdles to overcome, mainly due to the major complexity of the problems to be tackled in a logistics network and to the conflicts resulting from local objectives versus network strategies. Among the techniques supporting a multi-decisional context, as a supply chain (SC) is, simulation can undoubtedly play an important role, above all for its main property to provide what-if analysis and to evaluate quantitatively benefits and issues deriving from operating in a co-operative environment rather than playing a pure transaction role with the upstream/downstream tiers. The paper provides a comprehensive review made on more than 80 articles, with the main purpose of ascertaining which general objectives simulation is generally called to solve, which paradigms and simulation tools are more suitable, and deriving useful prescriptions both for practitioners and researchers on its applicability in decision-making processes within the supply chain context. # 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Sample Executive Summary: Sunco
Through partnering with utility companies and other energy regulators, Sunco can make
renewable energy a dependable option for our customers. The opportunity, recommendation,
timeline, and cost are provided in this report.
Opportunity
In the absence of a national “smart” grid, which would increase “pricing transparency,
as well as enable a host of consumer-producer interactive transactions” (Contreras, 2012, p.
645), we here at Sunco, as producers of renewable energy, have run into the problem of getting
our services to the customers who demand them. Similarly, our consumers who generate
renewable energy on-site from solar panels and wind turbines have also run into the problem of
permits, regulations, and service charges that vary from state to state and utility to utility (Ryor,
2014). Currently, the main challenge is convincing local utilities of the economic viability of
renewable energy, and since the energy supplied is undifferentiated, the general customer base
is unaware that other options exist.
Solution
Since we, as a company, lack the necessary knowledge and authority to enable our
services to be accessed and expedited in a way that would make them economically feasible in
the existing system, we seek to engage in a partnership with utilities and regulators arou ...

Building FTA capacities for systemic and structural transformations: New FTA ...Totti Könnölä
Transformations linked to disruptive events are causing a shift in Future-oriented Technology Analysis (FTA) activities from individual large-scale foresight actions to smaller in-house exercises and capacity-building. The reasons are manifold relating to the need for an even tighter embedding of FTA in policy-making in a fast-changing, complex environment as well as to internal drivers for novel forms of future intelligence to support coordinated and coherent decisions within and across organisations. The paper identifies three ideal types; external FTA services, the institutionalisation of FTA, and FTA networks, whilst recognising that in practice these types are complementary. In empirical terms this requires further investigation, in order to understand how different combinations of activities in effect operate in their respective decision-making context. It is important to improve our understanding of how far institutionalised FTA can form part of the solution for building capacity to handle disruptions. Many sorts of combinations of elements from different organisational models are needed to enable learning, experimentation and capability development appropriate for the wider decision making context in which FTA is embedded. This paper explores the extent to which FTA can provide enhanced support to decision-making through customised organisational models and corresponding capability thus enabling them to anticipate and address disruptive change and associated challenges.
It’s not uncommon to arrive at the moment within a consultation when the client feels confronted by an unavoidable career crisis: leave because s/he can’t see any future staying; or stay because s/he sees no alternative to accepting the limitations being imposed by the larger system. This paper examines three cases, one up close, in which the client had come up against a wall: one providing on-line gambling, one procuring military capabilities, and one providing intensive social care. In each case there existed possible courses of action that could have provided better outcomes and made greater commercial sense, but which were nevertheless judged as beyond the pale by the existing powers. The challenge for the client is to use the crisis while not taking it personally. The paper explores the psychoanalytic basis of the walling off as a systemic defense against innovation and the challenge to leadership in overcoming it.
Big-A Agile methods enable an enterprise to develop software and systems rapidly in response to new requirements for products and services. Small-a agility is about flexibility in general, apparent in how individuals, workgroups and enterprises respond to new kinds of requirement. In both cases there is a separation between the ‘design-time’ within which a response can be developed and the ‘run-time’ within which it is deployed operationally. Requisite agility is this same general flexibility, but where no such separation is possible between design-time and run-time: the enterprise becomes entangled with the client’s context-of-use so that the response to new requirements has to happen in the client’s real time. Requiring the support of platform architectures, this entanglement creates a double challenge to the governance of an enterprise. It needs to be able to collaborate effectively across enterprise boundaries, but it also needs to develop the requisite agility at the level of the enterprise that enables it to respond in real time to new forms of demand.

This is a case in which an employee encountered an ethical crisis. The organisation was responsible for commissioning healthcare, and it was as if her unconscious was demanding of her professional self: ‘are you going to give me your money or your life?’ Choosing ‘money’ would mean going along with what the organisation was demanding of her at the cost of others’ lives, while postponing the question(ing) of her life; choosing ‘life’ meant confronting the issues the organisation was facing; and resigning meant giving up on either choice.
This encounter between the ‘one alone’ approach of the organisation and the incompleteness of its responses to its citizen-patients reflected a radical non-rapport between the different ways-of-being of the organisation and of the citizen-patient as the organisation’s other, in which the organisation faced a lack experienced as a demand for something more that in this case it was refusing.
This paper considers how the current contractual arrangements between the organisation and its service-providers served the interests of the powers-that-be and examines the gendered assumptions built into these contractual arrangements. The paper considers how a different understanding of leadership would create ways of balancing interests that were en-gendering by working with the non-rapport inherent to the relation between the organisation and the lives of its citizen-clients. The paper will provide some Lacanian background to this way of understanding organisation and consider its implications for the ethical crisis that the contractor faced.
Thinking psychoanalytically about desire in organizations - why we need a 3rd...Boxer Research Ltd
Psychoanalytic understanding has approached the organization as being like the ego in its pursuit of sovereign autonomy, its inter-subjective discursive practices organizing its work in relation to its markets. The corporate entity has been approached as an a priori. Psychoanalytic understanding has addressed the ways in which individuals take up roles within the life of an organization, but not the ways in which an organization may support a multiplicity of roles one-by-one in the lives of its citizen-clients.
The a priori status of the sovereign corporate entity leads to the unconscious being referred to as descriptively unconscious, ‘below the surface’ of the inter-subjective practices it supports. The implication is that what lies ‘below the surface’ can in principle be made conscious. This repressed unconscious is distinct from the wider compass of the radically unconscious. Distinguishing the repressed from this radically unconscious enables us to establish a ‘beyond’ of the libidinally-invested-in identifications supported by the organization. Defenses against anxiety may thus become defenses against a ‘beyond’ of innovation, through which a posteriori organization might support innovative roles in the lives of its citizen-clients.
We need to understand how a radically unconscious valency for innovation becomes realized. This would enable us to address how individuals might support identifications with an organization when it was itself having to innovate continuously ‘under their feet’. Without such an understanding, we can only expect an organization to betray its citizen-clients through serving its a priori interests to the exclusion of ‘others’.
Creating value in ecosystems: the place of the well-bounded organisationBoxer Research Ltd
How are our consulting and managing skills standing up to a world that is changing its demands on us? We may work with individuals and groups, but the contexts in which we work with individuals and groups are changing. These contexts, once defined by well-bounded organizations, are becoming a turbulent sea of stakeholders and ecosystems each with its competing demands and challenges. These dynamic contexts change the place of the organization, and impact on the way the organization is able to sustain support for the unconscious valencies of its managers and staff.
Innovations that respond to these dynamic contexts are resisted because they disrupt the ways in which the well-bounded organization supports the identities of its managers and staff. This presentation considers how responses to the changing place of the organization arising from this disruption may be understood as a symptom of unconscious foreclosure, in which what has no place to be thought arises in the environment as a symptom: “what has been rejected from the symbolic reappears in the real”. In order to understand the nature of this foreclosure, the presentation examines the challenges facing the well-bounded organization using the example of an organization seeking to provide intensive social care subject to the UK’s regulatory regimes.
The impact of governance approaches on system of-system environmentsBoxer Research Ltd
Governments worldwide are turning to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based systems of systems, commonly termed Electronic Government (eGovernment), to enable more timely, efficient and effective interaction with their citizens and with the business community. Citizens and businesses have dynamic and evolving demands related to the complexity of their lives and operational environments, respectively. A major challenge for government is to be able to understand the value derived from investment in eGovernment in order to improve its consequent ability to respond to the variety of demands of its citizens and businesses. To be able to understand the value derived from planned investments in eGovernment, their analysis needs to extend beyond the familiar approaches that address economies of scale and scope to encompass economies of alignment. These economies of alignment arise from being able to reduce the costs of the multiple forms of collaboration needing to be supported by systems of systems in providing greater responsiveness.
Building organizational agility into large scale software-reliant environmentsBoxer Research Ltd
The tempo at which an enterprise creates new uses for its systems is different from that of its acquisition or systems development processes. The military continues to confront the issue of how fielded systems can support the agility needed by its deployed forces. This problem of diverging tempos applies to a variety of large-scale, software-reliant enterprisessuch as those found in healthcare and digital communications. This paper posits four realities underpinning an approach to this problem space: the governance-demand double challenge, edge-driven perspective, stratification, and demand cohesion. It uses a particular case example to show how these concepts support the modeling and analysis of the enterprise as a socio-technical system of systems. The paper argues that analyses based on this approach are necessary for making this problem space tractable.
Systems of systems engineering and the pragmatics of demandBoxer Research Ltd
Systems of systems that manage health care or enable Albert’s “power to the edge” are expected to provide the flexibility to engage multiple enterprises in innovative, collaborative, ways to solve problems. This paper describes a systems engineering approach to engineer infrastructure that will support the restriction of systems of systems behavior at the time of use rather than at design time. We present a process for describing demands within their context of use, and how organizational variations in collaborative approaches (geometries-of-use) can be re-lated to variations in these demands-in-context (pragmat-ics), thus giving a way to engineer a systems-of-systems’ agility i.e. its ability to adapt to changing demands.
Enterprise architecture for complex system of-systems contextsBoxer Research Ltd
An enterprise architecture is an accepted, widely used means for an organization to capture the relationship of its business operations to the systems and data that support them. Increasingly, enterprises are participating in complex system-of-systems contexts in order to meet changing customer demands that require them to collaborate with other enterprises in new and innovative ways. For a complex system-of-systems context, a shortcoming of enterprise architecture is that it presumes a single enterprise or a single, ultimate source of control.
This paper explores an approach to reasoning about distributed collaboration in the complex system-of-systems, multi-enterprise context, in which this single, ultimate source of control does not exist. It outlines the ways in which the long-used Zachman Framework for enterprise architecture would need to be modified to account for multi-enterprise collaboration and decentralized governance. It proposes a concept of stratification to meet this need and puts forward the main characteristics of the methods needed to model the stratified relationships of complex systems-of-systems to their contexts-of-use.

To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
