We asked that the survey be completed by an executive familiar with the business strategy for technology use, the ... read more -
From Enterprise Architecture to Ecosystem Architecture
by Vaughan Merlyn on Jul 18, 2008 - 09:41 AM read 79 times
Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=279I’ve been thinking about IT architecture - more correctly, Enterprise Architecture, and most recently, something I’m referring to as Ecosystem Architecture. This thinking was stimulated by some of the results of our recent Reaching Level 3 multi-company research project. That research showed that one of the most critical gaps in many companies IT capabilities is around Enterprise Architecture (EA). I don’t find this deficiency in Enterprise ... read more -

by Vaughan Merlyn on Jul 02, 2008 - 12:56 PM read 133 times
Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=271I had a client experience the other day that got me thinking about IT professionals, Web 2.0 and the not-so-simple act of “keeping up” with today’s incredible pace of technology change. I was in an IT meeting with abouteighteenIT managers. It was my first meeting with this group. I noted that EVERY one of them brought laptop computers with them, opened them, and started working on them. I ... read more -

Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=264I am very excited about an upcoming event we are holding in Chicago mid-September.

The session, entitled “Unleashing the Core, Innovating the Edge” explores the thorny subject of innovation in today’s businesses. It will open with a ... read more -

by Tony Gonzalez on Jun 20, 2008 - 02:21 PM read 105 times
Source: http://tonygonzalez.wordpress.com/?p=25Working with the Energy and Utilities vertical at nGenera we are seriously considering hosting a new product offering on the cloud using Amazon’s EC2 web service. My experience so far is very positive. Easy to sign up, easy to use, easy to administer (even with the command-line tools) and the price… can’t beat that! at $0.10 / instance hour it beats the typical hosting agreements. even ... read more -
The Other Seat at the Table
by Vaughan Merlyn on Jun 19, 2008 - 10:49 AM read 637 times
Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=258One of the great clichs of the business-IT relationship is “having a seat at the table.” This is a cute, shorthand way of describing a business-IT relationship where IT is properly represented in the strategic leadership of the business (be that a business unit or the enterprise). When we see this condition working well, we often observe characteristics such as: Business strategy formulation and IT strategy formulation are converged - ... read more -

Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=239I enjoyed this post by Tom Evslin in his Fractals of Change blog. Tom describes himself as a “Rip Van Winkle” of programming - a programmer who stopped writing code for 17 years and has recently started again. He notes, “At my age, I can build much more interesting stuff in a day of coding now than I could in a week the last time I was doing this ... read more -
Example of NGE Behavior
by Alan Savoy on Apr 18, 2008 - 02:37 PM read 139 timesWhile taking an online course I realized I was witnessing what I understand to be NGE behavior. I believe this is a good example of a company collaborating with their customers to produce a mutually beneficial outcome. Wolfram Research is the company that produces Mathematica, which is one of the tools we use for business simulation work. With the release of their latest version, ... read more -

Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=217Iwas in an interesting discussion with one of my consulting clients recently. I was with a group of IT managers responsible for their firm’s shared IT assets. This is a large, global enterprise that has been on an aggressive journey over the last 5 years to transform business-IT maturity. By any measure, they have been successful - rationalizing and consolidating a patchwork of data centers, networks, systems ... read more -
Surfing and IT Innovation
by Vaughan Merlyn on Mar 24, 2008 - 01:31 PM read 1784 times
Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=215Thanks to a colleague for pointing me to a remarkable post by John Hagel entitled Innovating on the Edge of Big Waves. Hagel explores the evolution of ‘big wave’ surfing - both from a perspective of the technology innovations (e.g., fibreglass, foam core, changeable stabilizing fins) and techniques (e.g., tow-in surfing, insights borrowed from wind surfing, skateboarding). He then examines the lessons that can be applied by ... read more -

Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=194I’ve posted before on the role of ambition as a key factor in driving business-IT maturity. I want to move beyond that and pick up the theme of mindset. This is a topic I covered in today’s teleconference as part of our multi-client research project into business-IT maturity. According to Wikipedia, Mindset refers to the set of assumptions or methods held by ... read more -

Re-thinking Business-IT Maturity
by Vaughan Merlyn on Feb 04, 2008 - 09:36 AM read 608 times
Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/?p=166It’s time to update our venerable Business-IT Maturity curve - this is a BIG DEAL! (Well, at least it is to some of us!) For the last 10 years or so I have been drawing a simplified version of the Business-IT Maturity curve as a single ‘S’ curve, or learning curve. I typically talk about three major stages, or “levels” on this curve - Level 1 is focused ... read more -
Why ITIL is "Necessary but not sufficient"
by Vaughan Merlyn on Jan 23, 2008 - 05:00 AM read 508 times
Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/2008/01/23/why-it...My post yesterday claimed that ITIL is necessary, but not sufficient for reaching Level 3 Business-IT Maturity. As anticipated, this has led to a fair amount of traffic, some showing up as commentary on the blog, others showing up as email messages from various vendors of Service Management and ITIL support services. I therefore want to expand upon and defend my position on this. In so doing, ... read more -

Rich Lemieux commented and pointed us to his helpful and informative DITY Newsletter and to his article on the 5 domains of ITIL V3suggesting that IT organizations organize themselves around these domains as the “five new silos of IT.” A couple of push back’s - one minor and one major. The minor ... read more -
Elevating Business Demand Maturity - Victim or Leader?
by Vaughan Merlyn on Jan 16, 2008 - 05:00 AM read 477 times
Source: http://itorganization2017.wordpress.com/2008/01/16/elevat...I’ve touched on this theme in several posts, but I feel it’s time to call it out: don’t be a victim - be a leader! I’m moved to get back into this because I continue to hear IT professionals bemoan the fact that “Our business partners just don’t want to use IT to innovate - they still see IT as a cost, not an investment, blah, ... read more -

Source: http://instantlyresponsive.wordpress.com/2008/01/02/hello...One of the topics that fascinates me is the design of organizations who can respond instantly.
