Overall, the document provides guidance to organizations on establishing effective FOSS governance policies and practices.
Your Challenge
Business transformations are happening, but CIOs are often involved only when it comes time to implement change. This makes it difficult for the CIO to be perceived as an organizational leader.
CIOs find it difficult to juggle operational activities, strategic initiatives, and involvement in business transformation.
CIOs don’t always have the IT organization structured and mobilized in a manner that facilitates the identification of transformation opportunities, and the planning for and the implementation of organization-wide change.

Proposal of a Framework of Lean Governance and Management of Enterprise ITMehran Misaghi
Technology and Information are vital to the success of companies.
To leverage the successes in IT projects, companies have at their
disposal, references globally accepted as good practices (COBIT,
ITIL, PMBOK, ISO, TOGAF, etc.). In spite of this, it is still great
the magnitude of spending on IT projects poorly designed or
improperly implemented. This paper presents a brief description
of standards and good practices related to governance and
management of enterprise IT, defines the Lean Thinking, Lean IT, the Processes Management, the Portfolio, Program and Project
Management, and the Work System Theory, and highlights the
purpose of them, showing their characteristics and suggests a
Framework of Lean Governance and Management of Enterprise

CHANGE MANAGEMENT: IMPLEMENTATION AND BENEFITS OF THE CHANGE CONTROL IN THE I...ijait
In the competitive environment, companies have given increasing importance to the IT sector and the
resources it delivers as strategic. As a result, IT becomes a living being within the company. This sector is
being subject to continuous changes in this scenario. These changes can occur within the own IT sector or
whether IT to other sectors of the company. For both scenarios, it is important to have a good change
control to avoid unnecessary trouble and expense. This paper aims to show through a case study, the
benefits and results obtained with the implementation of a process of managing and controlling changes in
the information technology environment of a large government company in Brazil.
Advanced Project Data Analytics for Improved Project DeliveryMark Constable
Data Analytics is already beginning to impact how projects are delivered. We can now automate minute taking and capturing actions, we can use Flow to progress chase, Power BI reduces the burden of reporting.
But we are just scratching the surface. It won’t be long before we can leverage the rich dataset of experience to predict what risks are likely to occur, understand which WBS elements will be susceptible to variance, deduce what the optimum resource profile looks like, define a schedule by leveraging data from those projects that have gone before.
The role of a project professional is about to change dramatically. In this webinar we will explore the challenges and opportunities, and how we should respond. It’s a call-to-action for the community to mobilise, help to reshape project delivery and understand the implications for you and your organisation.
Presenter Martin Paver is a Chartered Project Professional, APM Fellow and Chartered Engineer. In December 2017 he established the London Project Data Analytics meetup which has quickly spread across the UK and expanded to 3000+ members. Martin has major project experience including leading a $billion projects with a team of 220 and a multi-billion PMO with a team of 50. He has a detailed grasp of project management and combines this with a broad understanding of recent developments in the field of data science. He is on a mission to ensure that the project management profession readies itself for a transformed future.
Learning outcomes:
- Understand the implications of advanced data analytics on project delivery
- Understand the scope of which functions it is likely to impact
- Help you to develop a strategy for how you engage with it
- Understand how to leverage the benefits and opportunities that will emerge from it

COBIT 5 as a standard in the Jordanian banking systemMark Constable
Balancing performance and conformance in in an enterprise can be a daunting task.
Adding up the various regulatory, compliance and conformance needs of any organization can have a major effect on enterprise performance if not governed and managed effectively.
In the country of Jordan, the Central Bank has mandated that all banks become “COBIT Compliant,” which has caused a flurry of activity amongst boards and executive management across the banks throughout the country.
In this presentation and accompanying case study, we will explore the emerging importance of a solid Governance of Enterprise IT (GEIT) program and how leveraging the COBIT5 framework products can greatly enhance not only compliance but can also be a positive move towards enhancing the overall governance posture.
Learning Objectives:
- Gain an understanding of the importance of balancing performance and conformance with a GEIT program.
- Appreciate the value of the various COBIT and training products (Foundation, Implementation and Assessment) in the Jordanian Banking system mandate.
- Learn about the positive aspects and lessons learned of the COBIT 5 process capability assessments.

Stewarding Data : Why Financial Services Firms Need a Chief Data OfficierCapgemini
The C-suite could soon start to feel a little crowded, with Chief Digital Officers, Chief Innovation Officers, Chief Risk Officers
and Chief Data Officers joining the more established functional leaders. To avoid C-suite proliferation, companies need to
decide whether to elevate a new functional role to “chief” based on the strategic importance of the issue for the organization and its sector. For example, in many organizations, marketing will be so essential to performance that few would deny the need for a CMO. In financial services, data has become so mission-critical that the role of Chief Data Officer is simply essential.

The business opportunities in capacity building for APPS development in AfricaDerek Keats
Telecoms World Africa Conference, May 22, 2012, Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa
The topic that I was given when my colleague was unable to make the conference was: "How to develop localised applications to target and profit from the African market." This seemed straight-forward until I started thinking about some of the concepts contained within that simple phrase. Firstly, assuming localised applications refer to applications targeted at local markets, it is important to realise that the current device landscape in this very large continent of Africa is quite heterogeneous. Secondly, most African countries have a scarcity of developers, more so of good developers. In a recent trip to Nigeria, for example, it was reveled that there are about 2000 independent developers in the country, compared to several hundred thousand in the USA. Many thousands are unemployed, and have very limited experience. Thirdly, while there are purely exploitative opportunities to develop apps and sell into the African market, such opportunities do not lead to the generation of local idea capital - the raw material of the knowledge economy. The real opportunity is therefore to use the growing potential of the software applications market place - both open source and (shudder shudder) proprietary - to create capacity-building initiatives, and by doing so to grow idea capital, and thence to grow the size and variety of the market. I use my 8 years experience in the African Virtual Open Initiatives and Resources capacity-building initiative to discuss how this could be achieved while still creating business opportunities and growing local economies.

IT governance and its impact on National Healthcare ServiceMadhav Chablani
When properly implemented, IT governance is an organizational structure and set of processes that manage and control the enterprise's IT activities to achieve the enterprise's goals by adding value while balancing risk vs. return over IT. The article also highlights how COBIT5 framework is assisting healthcare delivery organizations in achieving their objectives and deliver value through effective governance and management of enterprise IT.
High-performing organizations achieve results by utilizing portfolio management to select the right projects at the right time with the right resources based on a data-driven selection methodology. Portfolio management adds value to an organization’s bottom line by optimizing the organization’s capacity and capabilities to meet the demands of an ever changing market and technology trends. It does this by providing insight and global visibility of the organizations approved set of strategic criteria against a backdrop of organizational constraints. This presentation provides a few of the value creation processes that implementing a best in class portfolio management solution can provide to your organization.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

A committee reporting to the highest level governance structure exists, and
FOSS features strongly on its agenda
ICT forms a standard component of the work of highest level governance
structure, it is taken seriously, and FOSS features strongly on its agenda
Independent ICT knowledge, with a deep understanding of FOSS, is available
within the highest level governance structure
The implementation of policy with respect to FOSS is audited and the audit
taken seriously
A strategy exists and serves as the basis for estimating value of
achievements with respect to FOSS in government
Regular reports with 'score sheets' received, measured against SMART
strategic goals
A formalised ICT enterprise governance framework (e.g. COBIT) is used
effectively
Accountable person for ICT across government as a whole who has FOSS as

strategy – a
co-created
plan of
action arising
out of a vision, with
aims, objectives and goals;
sometimes with an operational plan
25.
aims – high level, conceptual things
to be done or achieved
The South African Government will
implement FOSS unless proprietary
software is demonstrated to be
significantly superior
FOSS
26.
objectives – stated targets, the achievement of which
can be estimated through an aggregation of measurable
goals that collectively contribute to achieving an aim
Create project governance with government wide oversight
that ensures that projects implemented within all spheres of
government would have to justify the implementation or
development of proprietary software, and ensures that FOSS
client applications are not disadvantaged even where
proproprietary sofware is implemented
Create broad improvements to procurement so that
FOSS is recognised and favoured
27.
goals – specific, observable and
measurable results that collectively
contribute to achieving an objective and
which are SMART in their formulation

Goal
South African Government will migrate current proprietary software to FOSS
whenever comparable software exists
Migrate office software to FOSS throughout the South African Government,
starting within DPSA
By December, 2008, training and support will be available for Open Office
(LibreOffice) to enable office migration to proceed
By April 2009, the offices of the Minister and Directors General will be
migrated to Open Office (LibreOffice)
Goal
By March 2010, DPSA will be completely migrated to Open Office
(LibreOffice)
