IBM Rational Software Conference 2009: Process, Project and Portfolio Managem...Kathy (Kat) Mandelstein
Track Keynote for the Process, Project and Portfolio Management Track at the IBM Rational Software Conference 2009
Software and systems delivery has become a fundamental business process in the global economy, and the ability to adapt to changing market conditions requires that information technology is fully integrated into the business strategy and operations to ensure consistent alignment with business priorities, and better execution.
Executives require visibility and real-time decision support to keep the enterprise focused on solutions to high-priority problems, supported by the ability to measure the performance of current and future IT activities and assets. IT leaders must deliver significant business value and ensure constant alignment of project investments with evolving business objectives. Project leaders must be able to identify, implement and drive adoption of repeatable best-practice approaches for successful execution, and be able to more proactively identify and resolve issues, to reduce risks associated with project failure. All stakeholders must be involved and informed in addressing the changing business needs, especially when variations in project health threaten outcomes.
This track explores topics across several domains that support organizational change and iterative software and systems delivery. Hear and learn from actual experiences across the spectrum of process adoption, portfolio planning and oversight, and execution of major initiatives, programs, and projects. This track is for executives, IT leaders, program managers, project managers, portfolio managers, process engineers, business analysts, and other stakeholders concerned with optimizing IT investments with industry best practices and team unifying tools for more predictability, adaptability, and visibility.

The document discusses supply chain insights and the evolution of sales and operations planning (S&OP). It notes that S&OP has progressed from a manufacturing-driven focus on delivering a feasible plan, to a sales-driven focus on matching demand and supply, and increasingly to a demand-driven and market-driven focus on sensing demand signals and orchestrating supply across markets. Emerging technologies can help organizations achieve greater benefits by supporting demand translation, network modeling, constraints-based planning, and optimization of financial drivers.
The document discusses SAP Analytics for procurement. It describes how procurement and supply chain organizations are under pressure to reduce expenses and proactively manage supplier risk through continuous supplier and spend intelligence reporting. However, supplier data often requires de-duplication, normalization and enrichment before it can provide useful insights.

The document then outlines key components of SAP's offering including data enrichment and classification, spend performance management, and best practices.
This document discusses the evolution of strategic management from the 1950s to the present. It outlines the dominant themes, main issues, concepts and techniques, and implementation approaches during different decades.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

1. Supply Management: The Missing
Voice in the Integrated Business Plan
How Cost Management, Negotiation and Contract Management
Inform the Process and are Essential to Its Execution
Arnold Mark Wells, CPIM

Each function has its own goals and targets to hit. Many times, these are not aligned to deliver an overall greater value to shareholders. This may be a bit more obvious in the direct procurement space, but it is also true in indirect procurement for critical supplies. How can these many interdependent decisions within separate business functions be aligned?
Certainly a risk can present an opportunity and an opportunity implies a risk (at least the risk of an opportunity cost).
Other possible factors:Relative QualitySwitching Cost
This is one visual way to present a potential area of risk for the business plan.Other possible factors:Contribution to innovationRelative QualityCollaboration and Automation
Again, these could be indirect commodities, materials or services as well as direct. This can apply to both manufacturing and to service environments. In the indirect and non-manufacturing spaces, physical space and media space, paper, money (in banking for ATM’s), critical spare parts for manufacturing equipment and other similar purchased goods and services come to mind. Hopefully, you can quickly think of the relevant critical purchased goods or services in your industry and in your company.
In recent months commodity prices have risen and fluctuated. This creates a risk to the costs for both direct and indirect procurement.
Companies like SAP, Oracle and Ariba have created businesses or lines of business that are focused on facilitating transactional collaboration and execution, driving down procurement costs. If this is not in place for your largest and most critical suppliers, is there a good reason? Has the total cost of the opportunity been analyzed and is that part of the integrated decision dialog? Can the collaboration be extended to planning in a way that inventory and lead times can be reduced?
