How to Implement Measurements to drive value
Improve the "Business of IT" by using a measurement framework and metrics that matter most.
Metrics are important to management. What's not measured cannot be managed. But what should be measured, why and how?
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, then this session is for you:
• not sure what to measure
• not sure how to measure
• IT metrics don't seem to support business goals
• too busy fighting fires to become more proactive
• measure too many things already
• business/IT goals not measured
• priorities focus on noise vs. what's important
• customer complaints drive improvements
• efficiency, effectiveness, quality not well understood
• reduced visibility resulting in loss of control
• not sure who needs what level of detail
Learning Objectives:
Metrics validate your IT strategy and vision; provide direction with targets and metrics; justify changes with a means to gauge value-realized; signal when to intervene with corrective actions.
Hear case studies and examples that help you improve alignment, meet compliance and drive service excellence.
Learn the secrets of how measurement frameworks works and take away a roadmap with actionable steps. Let's get IT started.

This document introduces the Business Process Maturity Model, which is a multi-dimensional, non-linear model for assessing an organization's business process maturity. The model has two dimensions: 1) The "Five Levers of Change" which are the components that make up an organization, and 2) Five "States of Process Maturity" that represent stages an organization progresses through. The five states are: Siloed, Tactically Integrated, Process Driven, Optimized Enterprise, and Intelligent Operating Network. Moving from one state to the next is not linear and involves overcoming different hurdles for different parts of the organization.

When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.

4. In-Class Exercise #2
“According to Russell Ackoff, a systems theorist and professor of organizational
change, the content of the human mind can be classified into five categories:
• Data: symbols
• Information: data that are processed to be useful; provides answers to
"who", "what", "where", and "when" questions
• Knowledge: application of data and information; answers "how" questions
• Understanding: appreciation of "why”
• Wisdom: evaluated understanding.
Ackoff indicates that the first four categories relate to the past; they deal with what
has been or what is known. Only the fifth category, wisdom, deals with the future
because it incorporates vision and design.”

3 product concepts are: strip, squeeze, paper filter
Highest access / lowest cost: strip test
Highest accuracy & cost: paper filter
3 major $$$ stakeholders: IANGOs, other donors, govt.
Other major stakeholders: CBOs, hospitals, patients
Govt. Favors most accurate: to maintain test credibility

8. Case Discussion Questions
What test(s) do you recommend for initial roll-out in
Tanzania? Why?
Assume one of the three tests is the sole choice for
roll-out (choose one). What specific communication
strategy do you use among key stakeholders to gain
support for this test?
What is another example you can think of with a
trade-offs between information access and accuracy?
When is it better to favor access? When is it better to
favor accuracy?

12. Week 3 Agenda: Data Quality
Announcement: Classroom Capture
Discussion of Reading
Recap: Blog Discussion Question
Data Integration Exercise
13. Factual Review
7 types of IS are... TPS, MIS, DSS, EIS, OLAP, Data mining, BI
Two measures of information sources:
hardness and richness
Information satisficing (raises or lowers) decision
making quality lowers
Organization memory is... fragmented
Two types of knowledge: explicit, tacit
14. Definitions from Watson (2005)
Data are raw, not summarized, not analyzed.
Information is data processed into a meaningful
form.
Knowledge is the capacity to use information.
15. Discussion Questions
Looking back on last week’s case study, how could
you describe the roll-out scenarios in terms of data,
information, and knowledge?
Consider an organization you work for now (or have
worked for recently). How would you describe its
organizational memory?
How do senior management needs for data typically
differ from the needs of the person who entered the
data?
What are typical challenges in integrating
information?
16. Blog Discussion Question
As there’s more data available in organizations,
there’s also more bad data. What kind of problems
have you run into before with missing, incorrect, or
incomplete data? What do you think can be done to
improve data quality?
Cost of bad data
Role of legal and regulatory environment
Who owns the problem?
Incentive alignment... problem vs. solution... pain vs. gain
