This document discusses the author's previous PhD research and proposal for the next generation of business intelligence. The previous research addressed optimizing a company's product change process to balance lean, agile and innovative strategies. It involved multiple action research cycles. The author then gained experience in business intelligence and sees an opportunity to develop solutions that synchronize dynamic strategies using a closed-loop feedback process. The proposal is to implement next generation business intelligence to optimize business life cycles under various pressures through individual and overall analysis and feedback.
The document introduces the business process management (BPM) life cycle. It discusses that improving BPM efforts requires increasing capabilities in three areas: process maturity, process management maturity, and organizational maturity. The BPM life cycle involves analyzing the organization, designing and modeling processes, implementing processes, monitoring processes, and continually improving processes. Key aspects of the life cycle include setting goals and strategies, defining metrics, identifying bottlenecks, and linking process management to the overall organization's mission and objectives.
- Frank Vogelezang presented on estimating and pricing application management at the 2011 Galorath International Conference in Eindhoven.
- He discussed Ordina's approach to separating estimating, which focuses on engineering costs, from pricing, which is a commercial process.
- Their estimating model for application management breaks work down into components with different cost drivers like functional size, age, and service levels. It is designed for outsourced application management.
Simplify Estimating & Pricing of Application ManagementFrank Vogelezang
Estimating Application Management is not simple because the scope of Application Management is more diffuse than the scope of a project. (Application Management is software that manages and monitors the availability and components of network-centered applications within an organization, such as e-mail, intranets and client/server).
When Application Management is outsourced to an IT service provider, both parties need to have a clear understanding what activities will be outsourced and what activities will remain with the outsourcing organization.
To make that easier, Ordina has developed Dynamic Delivery, which selects the best IT service model for Application Management.
When you have defined what activities are in scope for an Application Management service offering, you are able to use this model as a basis to estimate the related effort and cost. In this webinar, you will learn how Ordina was able to do this in a transparent way, based on experience data by:
- Combining the vision of their Service Component Model with the estimating power and references of SEER-IT.
- Translating the Service Component Model to WBS elements that are predominantly based on the knowledge bases within SEER-IT.
- Configuring the WBS elements to be able to estimate Application Management for Oracle EBS.
It shows how we converted our model for estimating application management into a working model using SEER for IT and SEER for Software knowledge bases.

This document discusses business analysis methodologies and frameworks. It defines a methodology as describing who performs what tasks using what inputs to produce what outputs, when, how, and why. A framework is described as a partially completed solution with options for completion. The document outlines the Unified Methodology Architecture (UMA) components of roles, tasks, inputs, outputs, processes, and guidance. It presents a business analysis framework that maps requirements from business objectives to technical requirements. Finally, it discusses how methodologies and frameworks can be customized based on factors like competency levels and technique complexity.
New Product Development (NPD) is the overall process of strategy, organization, concept generation, product and marketing plan creation and evaluation, and commercialization of a new product. This Technology Multipliers webinar provides a complete overview of the NPD process, models, tools, and metrics to succeed with new product development for technology companies.
This document discusses the challenges of managing complexity in software and systems development. It proposes two approaches to address this complexity: 1) variant management through strategic reuse, defining entry points and reuse strategies; and 2) product line engineering, shifting from asset reuse to sharing across a product line lifecycle. IBM's solutions involve its Rational tools integrated with BigLever's product line engineering framework to support requirements, modeling, quality management, and an overall lifecycle approach. The combination aims to improve productivity, quality, and time to market through feature-based development and automated production.
Ever wonder what a robust, well-formed and fully articulated methodology should look like? We've used our Methodology Framework to provide you an real-world (and free!) example.
The document discusses how digital Six Sigma and directed innovation methodologies can complement each other to solve problems. It provides an overview of key Six Sigma concepts like the DMAIC process, variation, and root cause analysis tools. The presentation also examines factors that can cause Six Sigma projects to fail if not properly addressed, such as lack of stakeholder commitment or an unclear problem statement.
Six Sigma is a data-driven problem solving methodology that aims to reduce variation and improve quality. It uses defined processes and statistical tools. There are different belts (white, yellow, green, black, master black) that indicate different experience levels. The main Six Sigma methodologies are DMAIC for improvement projects and DFSS for design projects. DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and guides teams through the problem solving process. DFSS involves defining customer needs, concept design, detailed design, prototyping and control planning. Six Sigma could be used at DONG Renewables for development, warranty issues, out of warranty improvements, experiments, reliability testing and process improvements.
Digital Six Sigma integration with Directed Innovation for Generation of High...Maria Thompson
The document provides an overview of Digital Six Sigma (DSS) and Directed Innovation methodologies.

Enabling Digital Sustainability by Jutta EcksteinJutta Eckstein
This is a New Zealand wide meetup event with meetup groups from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch attending and open to anyone with an interest in digital sustainability or agile. All welcome. Joke, this is how it started. Jutta is now also available in Germany, i.e. hosted by Berlin/Brandenburg
According to the World Economic Forum, digital technologies can help reduce global carbon emissions by up to 15%. However, digitalization also comes with some challenges. Thus, if we want to make a positive impact by increasing sustainability, we need to address challenges like the digital divide, energy consumption of IT, or the rise of electronic waste. In this talk, I want to explore how Agile can help to leverage Digital Sustainability.
