transformation programmes
Talking points for today
1.
My background, journey in to EA and why Primesource?
2.

4.
Why and how does managing successful programs and an enterprise
architecture practice complement and enforce each other?

What does «get digital» implies?..

Digitalization – the Wikipedia definition:
Digitizing or digitization[1] is the representation of an object, image, sound,
document or a signal (usually an analog signal) by a discrete set of its
points or samples. The result is called digital representation or, more
specifically, a digital image, for the object, and digital form, for the signal.

Gartner have proposed another definition:
The degree to which an enterprise’s products and service value and
revenues are realized through technology. (source: Mark P McDonald’s blog)
So in a business context, an organization that seeks to become Digital might focus on the
automation of processes with the objective of making them more efficient.
By contrast, a company focusing on Digitalization, might aim to realize more effective
outcomes from those processes by improving the customer engagement.

Customers now organise their strategic execution and
projects in programmes
The seasoned project managers and line managers
takes on roles as program managers and senior
responsible owners (SRO’s)
The program or transformation board more often consist
of business leaders and top management
Which leads to a more balanced focus on organiational
development v.s. IT enablement
And add more of the soft skillset and people
management sides of change (and politics to)
.. and some realization that program management and
EA is two sides of the coin... (yin-yang)

MSP blueprint = EA deliverables

A blueprint is a reproduction of a technical drawing, documenting an architecture or
an engineering design, using a contact print process on light-sensitive sheets. Introduced
in the 19th century, the process allowed rapid and accurate reproduction of documents
used in construction and industry. The blue-print process was characterized by light
colored lines on a blue background, a negative of the original. The process was unable to
reproduce color or shades of grey.

A blueprint (MSP) is a model of the future organization,
it’s working practices and processes, the information it requires and the technology that
supports the operations. The future organization is designed to deliver the outcomes
and benefits described in the vision statement. (Future operating model)
The blueprint is used throughout the programme to maintain the focus on delivery of the
new capability.

My main value propositions




Leaders and decision makers are used to think «projects» for
implementation and «programme» for major (strategic) change to the
business – they are both well suited for organising change activities, but
have some shortcomings in setting direction and articulating the future
operating model and design rules to get there..
Enterprise Architecture as a practice is very well fit-for-purpose when
planning and designing a better future (especially when it is digital), but
lack a track record when it comes to delivery and pragmatism..
Choose the method most suited for the problem and customer
Program Management and Enterprise Architecture is as as
interconnected and complementary as yin & yang..
