This document discusses various viewpoints from different IT managers on their IT strategy and priorities. It focuses on using data to drive decisions and improve business operations. Specifically:
1. The CTO wants to focus on building a data team, collecting more data from sources, analyzing more data, and using data to help establish competitive differentiation and improve quality.
2. Data can help organizations improve operations through better metrics, solidify relationships with stakeholders, and make better decisions to reduce risks.
3. A company needs to consider how to leverage its variety of products/services, high transaction velocity, and large data volumes as competitive advantages.
This session took us through the highs and lows of the ground-breaking research survey conducted by HD to determine the current state of IT organisations’ business focus and process maturity.
I believe in developing enterprise architecture principles as a foundation for the definition of solutions that meet the strategic needs of an organization. These principles don’t reference technology—instead, they drive tech- nology decisions.
If used correctly, these principles allow companies to avoid building the right solution the wrong way, or worse, building the wrong solution the right way.
The focus of this article is not the Design Principles of the Architecture but the Principles that guide Enterprise Architects.
These are principles that I shared with the Enterprise Architecture teams I led

This document discusses how decision modeling can help create a data-driven culture. It describes 4 key ways decision modeling provides benefits:
1. Decision modeling increases transparency in decision-making by explicitly specifying the information, knowledge, precision and context required for decisions.
2. It helps balance the use of data/analytics and human instincts in decisions.
3. Modeling decisions improves collaboration between business experts and analytic professionals.
4. Decision models provide a framework for continuously improving decisions by capturing best practices and focusing on key drivers of change.
Your Challenge
Infrastructure, by focusing on the reliability, availability, and serviceability of existing platforms, is perceived as a cost center rather than a business enabler.
Business stakeholders look to external vendors, rather than Infrastructure, to exploit emerging technologies. This leads to duplication of effort, inconsistent standards, and ineffective IT governance.
Infrastructure directors are unable to draw a line showing how their activities directly support the overall business goals.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
Think of the roadmap as a service, not a product. Its value is inversely proportional to the time since its last update.
Alignment perception issues can be addressed by having the infrastructure practice formally engage and communicate with business stakeholders.
Shadow IT can provide business-ready initiatives that need only to be tweaked to align with Infrastructure’s internal goals.
Impact and Result
This blueprint will help you build:
A formal channel and way of communicating value bottom-up and top-down between IT and the executive team.
A methodology to prioritize and create projects that generate business value.
A tool that can produce multiple outputs of value for different audiences using the same data.
An ongoing roadmap process, rather than a static document, that is able to adjust and react to evolving business circumstances.

WHEN YOU’RE UNDER PRESSURE TO ACHIEVE MORE FOR LESS, WHERE’S YOUR FOCUS FOR IMPROVEMENT?
Take a closer look at your information and document management processes. How much do you spend on printing and how many different suppliers do you use? What’s the cost of maintaining all their equipment? Are your workflows paper-based when they could be digital? Have you got organisation-wide visibility to control costs, compliance and quality-of-service for end-users?
This ISG white paper discusses the benefits of linking IT costs to business activity, and of analyzing the potential impact of IT investment on performance improvement

Your Challenge
Organizations have to adapt to a growing number of trends, putting increased pressure on IT to move at the same speed as the business.
The business, seeing that IT is slower to react, looks to external solutions to address its challenges and capitalize on opportunities.
IT and business leaders don’t have a clear and unified understanding or definition of an operating model.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
The IT operating model is not a static entity and should evolve according to changing business needs.
However, business needs are diverse, and the IT organization must recognize that the business includes groups that consume technology in different patterns. The IT operating model needs to support and enable multiple groups, while continuously adapting to changing business conditions.
Impact and Result
Determine how each technology consumer group interacts with IT. Use consumer experience maps to determine what kind of services consumer groups use and if there are opportunities to improve the delivery of those services.
Identify how changing business conditions will affect the consumption of technology services. Classify your consumers based on business uncertainty and reliance on IT to plan for the future delivery of services.
Optimize the IT operating model. Create a target IT operating model based on the gathered information about technology service consumers. Select different implementations of common operating model elements: governance, sourcing, process, and structure.

Assessment Of An Enterprise-Level Business SystemTiffany Graham
This document analyzes the business processes at Platinum Concepts Pty Ltd and identifies areas for improvement. Currently, the company lacks automation and most work is done manually using paper-based systems. This leads to inefficiencies such as lost data, delays in fulfilling orders, and a lack of communication between departments. Implementing a business process management system through an ERP would address these issues by streamlining operations, facilitating information sharing, and supporting better strategic planning. Doing so could optimize workflows, enhance customer service, and help the company compete more effectively.

How the Analytics Translator can make your organisation more AI drivenSteven Nooijen
The document discusses how the Analytics Translator role can help organizations become more AI-driven by bridging the gap between business and technology. The Analytics Translator collects and prioritizes ideas, develops business cases for AI solutions, guides the solution development process, and drives adoption. Characteristics of a good Analytics Translator include understanding both business and AI, taking ownership, and operating at the intersection of UX, technology, and business. Developing this role is important for companies to successfully create impact and value from data and AI.
AI Maturity Levels and the Analytics TranslatorGoDataDriven
Buzzwords like Big Data, Cloud, and AI have been out there now for a couple of years. But today, businesses have a clear focus on the application of data use cases and the challenges around that such as metadata management, governance, security, and maintainability in general. Everybody seems to have some version of a data lake and wants to consolidate it into something (more) useful, or move from an on-premise version to the cloud. There is a general need to streamline current practices while also attempting to give multiple segments of users (data scientists, analysts, marketeers, business people, and HR) access in a way that is tailored to their needs and skills. In other words: businesses today are heavily invested in data and AI, but many have a hard time knowing how to mature it to the next level.
This is exactly where a "maturity model" comes into play. The goal of a maturity model is to help businesses in understanding their current and target competencies. This helps organisations in defining a roadmap for improving their competency. A maturity model is therefore one way of structuring progression, whether the company already embraces data science as a core competency, or, if it is just getting started.
In this presentation on maturity models, we answer the following questions:
1. What exactly is a maturity model and why would you need it? We address this by sharing GoDataDriven's maturity model and describing the different phases we have identified based on our experience in the field.
2. How can you use a maturity model to advance your organisation? Having a maturity model alone is not enough, in order for it to be valuable you need to act upon it. This paper provides concrete examples on how to do act based on practical stories and experiences from our clients and ourselves.
Building a ICT Strategy with an Enterprise Architecture MindsetDaljit Banger
This document outlines a workshop on building an ICT strategy with an enterprise architecture mindset. It discusses using enterprise architecture to align an organization's technology landscape with its strategic goals. The workshop covers using enterprise architecture tools and frameworks to analyze an organization's current state, formulate strategies, and deliver strategies. It also includes an exercise where participants break into groups as enterprise architects, strategy developers, or business stakeholders to discuss key elements of an ICT strategy. The goal is to demonstrate how enterprise architecture can help structure the strategy development process and ensure strategies are grounded in an organization's business and technical realities.
This document outlines the Panorama 360 Project Delivery Maturity Assessment Methodology. The methodology evaluates nine vectors across business engagement, culture readiness, and delivery ability to assess the probability of success for large projects. These vectors are evaluated using over 100 criteria questions to determine maturity scores. The results are synthesized into a graphic presentation and briefing with recommendations to remedy risks. The methodology is intended to be used as both a diagnostic service and ongoing health check for change programs.
The document discusses several important considerations for companies looking to implement artificial intelligence, including developing an AI transformation playbook, assessing an organization's AI maturity, anticipating costs and timing, deciding whether to build or buy AI solutions, and addressing important legal and ethical issues around explainability, privacy, fairness, and safety. The document provides guidance on how companies can effectively lead their organization into the AI era by establishing the right strategies, processes, and safeguards.
This document provides 6 tips for enterprise architects:
1. Create a common requirements vision to define business priorities and IT requirements.
2. Thoroughly evaluate current business and IT environments, including application portfolios and software licensing.
3. Conduct a SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to improve IT.
4. Select the best enterprise architecture tools that meet minimum requirements and support a variety of needs.
5. Avoid data element bloat and redundancy by modeling data holistically and defining a data repository.
6. Architect for cloud computing as it will fundamentally change IT infrastructure and enable new business models.
Your Challenge
Even though organizations are now planning for Application Integration (AI) in their projects, very few have developed a holistic approach to their integration problems resulting in each project deploying different tactical solutions.
Point-to-point and ad hoc integration solutions won’t cut it anymore: the cloud, big data, mobile, social, and new regulations require more sophisticated integration tooling.
Loosely defined AI strategies result in point solutions, overlaps in technology capabilities, and increased maintenance costs; the correlation between business drivers and technical solutions is lost.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
Involving the business in strategy development will keep them engaged and align business drivers with technical initiatives.
An architectural approach to AI strategy is critical to making appropriate technology decisions and promoting consistency across AI solutions through the use of common patterns.
Get control of your AI environment with an appropriate architecture, including policies and procedures, before end users start adding bring-your-own-integration (BYOI) capabilities to the office.
