Senseagility group PRESENTATIONS
Introduction to Technology Investment Management Method™ (TIMM™) first unveiled at the Financial Technology Management conference in February of 2009. This presentation goes through the "scary" project and metric statistics of current state and makes the case that capability-based approaches resolve a large portion of the complexity that leads to disappointing technology investments.
Integration Capability Portfolio as Means to Competitive Advantage
What if you could integrate major mergers in weeks, rather than years? What if you could accurately forecast integration value, cost and timelines? Any organization armed with this set of core competencies would have a sizable competitive advantage in the marketplace. These questions are not meant to spur debate, nor are they academic. Processes and tools have progressed far enough over the past decade where building a capability portfolio focused on integration is no longer a state of the art. Assessing and improving the effectiveness of this capability portfolio is crucial to organizations who use M&A as part of their growth strategy and investment professionals who underwrite and finance these deals. This presentation will outline how capabilities enabled by Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Business Process Management (BPM), and Master Data Management (MDM) can be assembled into an Integration Capability Portfolio that can be leveraged at any time, and with great velocity.
Diagnosis: Cloud Aware Applications as Competitive Advantage
How a Balanced Diet that Includes Application Security Can Enable Competitive Advantage. A sanity check to ensure that current application security challenges are not replicated to the Cloud.
A lot has been written and said on the topic of Business/IT Alignment. A lot of methods have been tried, and yet the goal has never seemed as elusive as it does in today's business climate. Business comes to the table with the increased pressures of the business cycle, the ever increasing information velocity, and the ever-more demanding client. IT comes to the table with solutions that seem to only increase in complexity bolstered by ever expanding technology disciplines, vendors, and standards, not to mention the baggage of years of suboptimal decisions coming home to roost. Business comes to the table from the top down. IT from the bottom up. They each speak a myriad of different 'Englishes'. They generally have an issue agreeing on how to define terms of engagement, or even who should own those terms, something we commonly see bubble up to the surface as data governance challenges. The mismatch between the business operating models of IT and their business stakeholders (or BOMM for short) can provide clues as to why the relationship between business and IT sometimes comes to resemble a cold war. This presentation will examine Business IT Alignment Patterns (and anti-Patterns) from the perspective of Business P&L Owners at various sizes of organization.
There's a Capability Map for That
An indepth look at how Capability Based Business Architecture provides a perfect complement to TOGAF 9 Architecture Development Method. Building on "Decoding Business/IT Unity" and other SenseAgility Group publications, this presentation walks through Technology Investment Management Method™ (TIMM™) and its use of existing standards, such as BPMN, UML, and ArchiMate.
