The Prism View Technique: A CIO's Framework for Designing Successful Organizational Training Programs

Tue, 28 May 2013 14:46:16 -0400

Pruseth, Debabrata | Journals |
Until recently, most analysts were predicting the death of the CIO role. The emergence of cloud computing, which offers migration of software (SaaS), platform (PaaS), and even infrastructure (IaaS) to the cloud, made the traditional CIO post look redundant or limited to managing service-level agreements with cloud vendors.

A Model for Creating High-Performance Teams -- From a Most Unexpected Source

Tue, 28 May 2013 14:41:17 -0400

Glazer, Hillel | Journals |
What good is a high-performance team in a vacuum, and how long will one last without an environment in which it can thrive?

Creating High-Performance Virtual Teams: Expanding Our Perspectives on Investing in People

Tue, 28 May 2013 14:39:29 -0400

Brenner, Richard | Journals |
In this article, I focus on IT virtual project teams, but much of what follows applies to other types of virtual teams, possibly with slight adjustments.

Using Leadership as a Secret Weapon in IT

Tue, 28 May 2013 14:35:27 -0400

Woerner, Ronald; Sweeney, Timothy | Journals |
For many organizations, IT is in a rising position of power, especially the CIO. However, many people on the IT team are still stuck down the chain of command fighting an uphill battle to adequately serve their organization.

Balancing Hard and Soft Skills

Wed, 22 May 2013 14:33:07 -0400

Brosseau, Jim | E-Mail Advisors |
Process improvement initiatives have always suffered from incompleteness. While the practices applied are often useful and effective, the models fail to take into account the needs of the team.

How to Ask the Right Question

Wed, 15 May 2013 11:14:23 -0400

Klubeck, Martin | E-Mail Advisors |
At every turn it seems leaders are being told to embrace Big Data. They are urged to make "data-driven decisions" and to mine their warehouses of all the buried data gold. The problem? This is absolutely the wrong direction to go in.

Game Plan for a CIO's First 100 Days

Wed, 8 May 2013 11:13:05 -0400

Clermont, Paul | E-Mail Advisors |
So you're the new CIO? Congratulations or condolences, which should it be? A bit of both. Nobody ever said it would be easy to be a tech-savvy plus business-savvy strategist who focuses on important IT initiatives and innovations while simultaneously managing hiccup-free daily operations and delivering complex initiatives predictably, on schedule, and within budget.

Is Lean the Path to Releasing the Competitive Business Potential in Knowledge Work?

Wed, 1 May 2013 11:11:38 -0400

Sutton, Jim | E-Mail Advisors |
The heart of a modern enterprise is the knowledge work it does. How to run a factory effectively is fairly well understood these days. But knowledge work activities such as strategy, market positioning, effective services, and the like are what make for an effective business. Enterprises are beginning to move away from the mass production paradigm and into an overall systems view using the Lean paradigm.

Strategy Formulation for Lean Environments

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:38:02 -0400

Brennan, Kevin | Journals |
Lean methods have a long-standing and well-known approach for implementing business strategy: hoshin kanri. Hoshin kanri is frequently translated into English as "strategy deployment."

Cooks in a Messy Kitchen

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:34:58 -0400

Snowden, David | Journals |
In the 1940s, an engineer maintaining a radar machine noticed that a chocolate bar had melted in his pocket; from that we got the microwave oven. In the 1990s, tests on the drug sildenafil citrate, formulated for heart conditions, produced an interesting side effect that resulted in Viagra. These well-known cases are examples of what is known in evolutionary biology as exaptation, which is contrasted with adaptation.

Dissolving a Dangerous Enthusiasm: Taking a Systems Approach to IT Systems

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:32:50 -0400

Seddon, John | Journals |
In their aptly titled book Dangerous Enthusiasms, Robin Gauld and Shaun Goldfinch summarize the shocking truth about large-scale IT projects: 30% fail completely and a further 60% fail in that they require significantly more time, resources, and effort than planned, and even then they often fail to meet requirements.

Implementing Organization-Wide Gemba Using Noninvasive Process Mining

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:31:03 -0400

Astromskis, Saulius; Janes, Andrea; Sillitti, Alberto; Succi, Giancarlo | Journals |
In this article, we describe how practitioners can use noninvasive (i.e., without human interaction) measurement in combination with process mining to understand the real process that is carried out as opposed to the documented, ideal process.

Lean Thinking and Knowledge Work

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:24:46 -0400

Jones, Daniel T.; Bell, Steve | Journals |
What do Amazon, GE, Tesco, SAP, Rolls Royce, Intel, Capital One, Starbucks, Nationwide, Wells Fargo, and Virginia Mason and Thedacare hospitals have in common? They and many others are using Lean Thinking and practices to engage their employees in streamlining the work processes that create value for their customers.

The Lean Systems Framework: Extending Lean for Knowledge Work

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:22:27 -0400

Odegard, Frode L. | Journals |
Over the last 20 years, much of the world economy has increasingly evolved into a knowledge economy. More and more work involves no physical artifacts at all; we are simply consuming, integrating, and creating knowledge.

Big Data: Privacy and Security

Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:21:12 -0400

Herold, Rebecca | E-Mail Advisors |
Big Data is not only knocking at your business executives' doors, it is being pushed in their faces with dire warnings that if they don't adopt it, their business is doomed for failure.

The User Experience

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 15:43:46 -0400

Unhelkar, Bhuvan | E-Mail Advisors |
The experience a customer has with an organization is no longer restricted to the time window of that interaction. Instead, it's a much wider phenomenon that evolves into the realms of that individual user's activities and actions before contact with the business is initiated and sustains long after such interaction is completed.

A Strategic View of Risk Management

Wed, 10 Apr 2013 15:42:08 -0400

Doughty, Ken; Terry, Craig | E-Mail Advisors |
The global financial crisis (GFC) provided a once-in-a-generation opportunity to develop support among key decision makers that a strategic view of risk management actually does matter. Post-GFC views of risk management increasingly seek to embed the analysis and understanding of risk within the strategy process. After all, strategy is about taking risk.

The Emerging Cloud Ecosystem: Innovative New Services and Business Models

Wed, 3 Apr 2013 15:39:51 -0400

Murugesan, San | E-Mail Advisors |
Driven by several converging and complementary factors, cloud computing is advancing as an IT service delivery model at a staggering pace. It is also causing a paradigm shift in the way we deliver and use IT. Its transformational potential is huge and impressive, and consequently cloud computing is being adopted by a spectrum of stakeholders -- individual users, businesses, educational institutions, governments, and community organizations. It is also helping to close the digital (information) divide.

Wed, 27 Mar 2013 15:57:48 -0400

Derby, Esther | E-Mail Advisors |
Managers, especially middle managers, are uniquely positioned to see an integrated and holistic picture of their organizations. But they won't do so as long as they see their role as getting people to work hard.

The Promise of a Diverse, Interoperable Cloud Ecosystem -- And Recommendations for Realizing It

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:55:00 -0400

Grise, Kathy L. | Journals |
The cloud is here to stay. It is a vital part of the information and communications technology (ICT) ecosystem, even though it is still a dynamic, fluid, and ever-changing addition to the ICT environment.

Cloud Ecology: Surviving in the Jungle

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:53:06 -0400

Baudoin, Claude R. | Journals |
The technology of the cloud has been evolving fairly quickly, in fact faster than many people expected, this author included. The number of serious market players and their sheer size (including companies such as Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft) attests that we have passed the point of no return: this new model is here to stay.

How Does Business Architecture Govern?

Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:56:41 -0400

Guitarte, Andrew | E-Mail Advisors |
I wrote in the December 2012 issue of the Cutter IT Journal on enterprise patterns (see "Business Capability Architecture Is the Tie that Binds All") that a business capability architecture (BCA) "is an overarching enterprise pattern that delivers business outcomes by binding every enterprise change to a business strategy. The model is the ‘tie that binds all,’ encapsulating the business strategy, contribution to business value, and operational complexity."

The Path to Leadership

Wed, 13 Mar 2013 11:55:28 -0400

Fox, Bill | E-Mail Advisors |
Have you ever written an email, blog post, or Tweet that caused you to take a deep breath and cringe before you showed it to the world? That was the reaction I experienced last fall before I submitted my article, "The Agile CMMI Conversation Is a Dead End," for publication in the November Cutter IT Journal.

SMAC: Social Media, Mobile, Analytics, and Cloud

Wed, 6 Mar 2013 11:53:55 -0400

Kellen, Vince | E-Mail Advisors |
From time to time, the corpus of information technologies absorbs new classes of technology, often in one fell swoop. The collection of technologies discussed here -- social, mobile, analytics, and cloud (SMAC) -- represents such a bundle. A decade ago, social, mobile, and cloud technologies were more a gleam in the eye of innovators than part of the CIO repertoire.

Is SMAC Adding Business Value or More Complexity and Uncertainty?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:50:38 -0400

Chapala, Nethaji | Journals |
With all the emerging social, mobile, analytics, and cloud (SMAC) technologies, IT is not merely a supporter or enabler of the business but a game changer, bringing differentiation to organizations.

Gamification: Driving Behavior Change in the Connected World

Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:27:25 -0400

Bess, Charles E. | Journals |
Since this month's Cutter IT Journal is focused on social, mobile, analytics, and cloud (SMAC), it seemed like an ideal opportunity to provide more detailed information about how gamification can enable organizations to reach their goals at the convergence of these four other trends. Since it is a broad topic, I'll focus mainly on a framework for understanding and planning for a gamification effort within an organization.

Leveraging Social Science to Boost Adoption of SMAC Technologies

Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:25:52 -0400

Higgins, Dave; Clark, Sam | Journals |
Having been involved in the IT industry for many years, we find it interesting to observe the constant evolution of technical jargon. Thus we were delighted when we first learned of the acronym "SMAC" -- for "social, mobile, analytics, and cloud" -- as it embodies the essence of what our company has been doing for over a decade.

How Can an API Platform Support the Integration of SMAC?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:23:13 -0400

Banerjee, Suman | Journals |
Traditional integration methods have difficulty aligning with the expectations of SMAC. We really need to think through the options enterprises have to create such an interface layer for adapting to the SMAC trend. Is an API platform the answer? Let's see.

Challenging CIOs to Drive Front-Office Transformation

Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:21:41 -0400

Teerlink, Marc; Martin, Desmond; Fillie, Jan-Paul | Journals |
Organizations are increasingly inundated by data: more sources of data, more types of data, and more detailed data. Yet while the volume, depth, and diversity of data continue to increase exponentially, the need to cut through the growing noise becomes more challenging and ever more urgent. Organizations will need a new type of decision maker to address this need.

Up and Down the Communications Gap

Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:18:39 -0400

Pritchard, Carl | E-Mail Advisors |
Last year, I had a client identify a concern regarding the communications gap that seemed to exist between team members in the trenches and those in the executive suite. The response? We developed a series of "Communicating UP" workshops, designed to facilitate better communication up the food chain.
http://www.cutter.com/content/itjournal/fulltext/advisor/2013/itj130227.html

"Has Agile Crossed the Chasm?" Is the Wrong Question

Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:51:03 -0500

Derby, Esther | E-Mail Advisors |
Every model helps us see and make sense of some things, but obscures other aspects of the situation. And so it is with Moore's technology adoption lifecycle and the fabled chasm. Moore's model describes marketing high-tech products. But agile isn't a product, even though some firms try to sell it as such. Thus, the prescriptions for launching agile across the chasm fail to grasp the nature of agile and the nature of change in organizations.

Business Transformation

Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:49:43 -0500

Mayer, Tobias | E-Mail Advisors |
Creating or running a business requires continuous focus on many areas: the individual, the team, the group or division, the organization as a whole, and, of course, the customer. While it is impossible to keep all the people happy all the time, it is essential to embrace, rather than fear, the conflict that naturally occurs. Often, the tendency is to seek compliance and short-term solutions to "keep things moving."

Making Managerial Dashboards Meaningful

Wed, 6 Feb 2013 11:48:22 -0500

Fronza, Ilenia | E-Mail Advisors |
IT organizations worldwide use dashboards to provide managers with the key information they need to steer their organizations in the right direction and make important strategic business decisions. Managers must be able to understand at a glance the information presented in the dashboard and to take effective corrective actions if needed. The success of this process strongly depends on providing managers with properly designed dashboards.

Should We Abandon Performance Measures?

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:46:49 -0500

Parmenter, David | Journals |
I have worked with performance measures for over 20 years, and in that time I have witnessed minimal progress in the right direction. Deriving measures is often viewed as an afterthought. Measures are regarded as something we fill into a box to say we have achieved a goal.

A Case for Decision-Focused Dashboards

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:45:37 -0500

Charette, Robert N. | Journals |
In November 2012, the US Air Force finally decided to cancel its Expeditionary Combat Support System (ECSS) modernization project after spending US $1 billion on it. ECSS was intended to replace more than 240 outdated Air Force logistics computer systems, some over 40 years old, with a single, integrated system. The Air Force deemed the effort critical to the successful modernization of its antiquated and operationally costly logistics infrastructure.

The Differences Between the Business Architect and the Business Analyst

Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:48:18 -0500

Evernden, Roger | E-Mail Advisors |
Most large organizations have teams of business analysts. And a growing number have business architects. There are bound to be overlaps between the business architect and business analyst roles, but, curiously, the potential intersections and synergies between them are often neglected.
http://www.cutter.com/content/itjournal/fulltext/advisor/2013/itj130130.html

Dashboards Are Great, But We Still Must Watch the Road!

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:46:08 -0500

Clermont, Paul | Journals |
Quite simply, a dashboard is a cognitive aid to safe, convenient, and trouble-free driving whose functionality keeps growing as the price of the requisite technology keeps falling. Yet if the circuits connecting the dashboard were suddenly to fail, we could keep on driving safely for some time based on what we see on the road. And even if our dashboard worked perfectly, a tarp suddenly thrown over the windshield would bring us to a screeching halt.

Making Managerial Dashboards Meaningful

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:44:04 -0500

Fronza, Ilenia | Journals |
Dashboards have not been invented to be mere data displays; their mission should be to help users make better decisions and achieve their goals.

Effective Dashboard Design

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:42:48 -0500

Janes, Andrea; Sillitti, Alberto; Succi, Giancarlo | Journals |
In the 19th century, the term "dashboard" was already being used to refer to a board in front of a carriage that stopped mud from being splashed (dashed) into the vehicle by the horse's hooves. Later, cars began using dashboards to inform the driver about the status of the car's various systems.

Creating Dashboards That Think Globally, Act Locally

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:41:01 -0500

Ravi Tej Kanteti | Journals |
While glocalization isn't a new phenomenon, few enterprises have been able to perfectly balance the level of globalization and localization and harmonize the benefits that both these models have to offer.

Building Project Management Skill: How the Right Dashboard Drives Organizational Performance

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:39:46 -0500

Fitzpatrick, Lawrence | Journals |
The holy trinity of information technology is people, process, and tools. Yet in practice, IT fixates on tools first, process second, and then largely ignores people. Nowhere is this more evident than in project portfolio management (PPM) -- the process of managing and communicating the project activities within an organization.

From Photo Processing to Everyone as a Merchant

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 13:33:54 -0500

Gat, Israel | E-Mail Advisors |
On the face of it, photo processing is a fairly mundane business. Having taken a few photos, the photographer would like to produce copies to share with others.

Brosseau, Jim | E-Mail Advisors |

Enterprise Patterns: The Key to Delivering Enterprise Transformation?

Wed, 2 Jan 2013 16:07:56 -0500

Evernden, Roger | E-Mail Advisors |
Change at an architectural level is always transformational. But too often, architects have struggled to demonstrate or realize this potential for making a significant, positive difference at the enterprise level. Instead, big changes are more frequently driven by the architectural opportunities that arise from new technologies.
http://www.cutter.com/content/itjournal/fulltext/advisor/2013/itj130102.html
